Matthews comes into tonight’s game as the league’s top goalscorer with 46 in total. Matthews also has 33 assists, giving him a total of 79 points, the 5th highest points scorer in the league. It has to be said he is also the only player inside the top 11 that’s played less than 60 games.
Toronto comes into this game as the league’s 3rd highest goalscorer, averaging 3.66 goals per game, and the New Jersey Devils have allowed 3.59 goals per game, the 4th worst in the league.
Toronto has scored 7-6-7-5-4 goals against the Devils in their previous five games. We expect a lot of goals tonight and Matthews at plus money to have two points tonight looks like a good spot.

Mitch Marner is the Leafs' second highest points scorer this season with a total of 26 goals and 42 assists, putting him 17th overall in the points leader board. He has only played 53 games, which is on average around 5 or 6 games less than most other players in the top 20.
We are targeting Marner’s total shots over 2.5 tonight, we are laying some juice here but are happy to do so against this Devils team. Marner has been averaging 3.3 shots per game thus far this season.

This looks like a good spot for Marner, he is currently on a hot streak with shots having gone over this total in 4 of the previous 5 games, let’s hope he can keep it up tonight. We see the Leafs coming out on top in this NHL matchup tonight as 5-2 winners.

Although we are paying some juice here for Sidney Crosby to take three or more shots, we are more than happy to do so in an NHL matchup against a team as poor as the Buffalo Sabres. The last time these teams met the Penguins had a whopping 48 shots on goal and 46 and 40 in the two previous games before that.
Crosby has seen three or more shots per game in 28 of his 51 games played this season. Although we love the Crosby play, we really would take almost any Penguins player over their shots total tonight as the Buffalo Sabres have allowed the 4th most amount of shots per game whilst the Penguins have shot the 6th most amount in the league.
We expect a Penguins bombardment tonight in a 5-2 win, bold Prediction Crosby to have exactly 4 shots on goal tonight.

It’s never a bad thing to be betting on the 2nd highest scoring defenceman to pick up 2 or more points in a game, especially when your offense is generating 3.83 goals per game, the second-highest in the NHL. Makar has been on a hot streak lately picking up 3 and 2 points in his previous two games respectively, and although some regression is expected, we believe +150 is good value here, for at least a 0.5 unit play if you are wary of the regression.
Makar has racked up a total of 49 assists and 22 goals in his 59 games played this season and has the 16th most amount of points in the entire league. He is just 7 points away from becoming the highest scoring defender this season and given his team will most likely go further theirs a good chance he comes away from this campaign as the defender with the most points in the NHL.
We expect the Avalanche to dominate the Vancouver Canucks on home ice and see them comfortable winning this game 5-1.
