Toronto versus Montreal is priced as a near coin flip for 29 September, while Colorado is the clear home favourite against Los Angeles on 1 October. Those are two different opener reads, and treating them as the same kind of game is how a tidy preseason card gets expensive.
bet365 and DraftKings list two-way moneylines. 1xBet, Melbet, FanDuel, Rainbet, Razed, Roobet and Linebet list regulation-time moneylines, with Linebet synthesized from 1xBet. Keep those groups separate. A moneyline number from one is not a better or worse version of the other.
What to watch next
For Montreal at Toronto, start with the puck line or total if you are comparing books. Those markets are comparable across the board. The Leafs -1.5 is 3.05 at both bet365 and DraftKings, while Montreal +1.5 is 1.40 at both.
Colorado is the side the board respects, but the Kings +1.5 has a real price trade-off. bet365 lists Colorado -1.5 at 2.45, DraftKings and 1xBet list 2.36, and Roobet lists 2.46.

Bottom line
Toronto versus Montreal is the opener to watch, not force. Colorado is the clear favourite, but Los Angeles +1.5 at 1.61 with DraftKings is the more practical early look than paying for the Avalanche outright.
