*10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on OVER Leafs/Blackhawks.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been involved in several high-scoring match-ups of late, and that's a trend I expect to hold true when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks Monday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Breakout Game - The Blackhawks have lost each of their first three of a four-game homestand with only a total of four goals scored. They still hold an average of 2.87 goals per game scored home at United Center this season though, and this looks like a great opportunity to get back on track against a Toronto team that has surrendered 17 goals in its last four games.

2. Road Woes - The Leafs will conclude a five-game road-swing tonight and each of the first four on the trip have gone over the total.

3. X-Factor - Patrick Kane recorded a hat trick in a 4-1 win at Toronto on Jan. 15 and has six points in his last seven games.

Selection: This is a play on TOR@CHI to go OVER the total (10* )
