Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks Prediction & Picks, October 19, 2026

The odds are offering a chance for under 6.5 total goals in the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the San Jose Sharks. Our numbers suggest this matchup is pretty close to even, with a projected combined total of around 6.1 goals. Both teams have had mixed results lately, with the Maple Leafs winning only 3 of their last 10 games while the Sharks have done a bit better, winning 5 of their last 10. A big risk is that both teams have some strong shooters, and the game could go either way in terms of scoring.

It could be a tighter match with good defense, making this bet a smart one to consider.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks: San Jose Sharks 3-Way Moneyline (+165)

The San Jose Sharks need to pull off a win against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight. The Sharks have been on a bit of a roll lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs have only managed to win 3 out of their last 10, which shows they might be struggling to find their rhythm. The odds are good for the Sharks as the underdog, and they have a real chance to take this one. Plus, the Sharks have a solid mix of players, with more skaters shooting left than right. The biggest risk is that the Maple Leafs are playing at home, which usually gives teams a boost. Still, the Sharks have shown they can compete well, so this could be a great opportunity for a surprising win.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks: San Jose Sharks +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-167)

The San Jose Sharks just need to keep the game close in the last period against the Toronto Maple Leafs to cover this bet. They have been winning about half of their recent games, showing they can compete well. The Maple Leafs, on the other hand, have struggled lately, winning only three of their last ten. With the Sharks finding their rhythm, they have a good chance to stay in the game and either tie or stay within a goal. The most concrete risk here is that the Maple Leafs are playing at home and will be looking to improve their form. Still, this bet looks promising for a close finish.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks: Kiefer Sherwood Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (-110)

For Kiefer Sherwood to have over 1.5 shots on goal tonight, he just needs to take a couple of good chances. The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a rough time lately, winning only 3 out of their last 10 games. However, they play at home in Scotiabank Arena, which usually helps boost their energy and performance. Sherwood has a solid chance tonight because he plays with a team that has a lot of left-handed shooters, which can create some good scoring chances. San Jose Sharks have also been decent, winning 5 of their last 10, so this could be a close matchup. The main risk is that both teams are struggling a bit, so it might be tough to get those shots off.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks: Yaroslav Askarov Under 25.5 Saves (-130)

The bet on Yaroslav Askarov making under 25.5 saves looks promising at -130 odds. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. This could mean fewer shots on goal for Askarov, especially if the Leafs keep their scoring low. The San Jose Sharks, on the other hand, have won 5 of their last 10, which shows they can find the net. However, that doesn't guarantee a high shot count against Askarov. The close performance from both teams makes it a bit risky, but our numbers suggest there's a good chance of hitting that under.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs San Jose Sharks: William Nylander Over 1.5 Points (+220)

William Nylander has been a bright spot for the Toronto Maple Leafs, even as the team has struggled a bit, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. He has a good chance to score points against the San Jose Sharks, who have also been up and down lately, winning 5 of their last 10. Given the way both teams are playing, this matchup could see Nylander stepping up and making an impact. Betting on him to get over 1.5 points feels like a smart choice here. While he has the skill to shine, the biggest risk is that both teams are closely matched, so the game could go either way. Still, with the right chances, he could definitely make it happen.
