  • Toronto Maple Leafs vs Anaheim Ducks Game 75 Preview: Lineups, Goaltenders, & Best Bets
    Mar 30 2026

    Game 75 brings a late-night showdown as the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Anaheim Ducks, and this one comes with plenty of storyline despite the West Coast puck drop. Radko Gudas will suit up after injuring Auston Matthews earlier this season, setting the stage for a potential response from Toronto — with Max Domi and Dakota Joshua among the players who could answer the bell. The Leafs roll out a lineup featuring Easton Cowan, William Nylander, John Tavares, and Matthew Knies, while the blue line includes Morgan Rielly, Brandon Carlo, Jake McCabe, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Anthony Stolarz gets the start in goal for Toronto as they try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.


    In this preview, we break down the projected line combinations, defensive pairings, power-play units, and betting angles for tonight’s matchup, including our bet365 Best Bets for Leafs vs Ducks.

We break down projected lineups featuring John Tavares, William Nylander, and rising prospect Easton Cowan, alongside key contributors like Matthew Knies, Max Domi, and Morgan Rielly. Plus, a look at the goaltending matchup between Joseph Woll and Igor Shesterkin, and our best bets for the game.
