Auston Matthews got the goal we were eagerly awaiting in the previous game when the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Bruins 3-2 to tie the series up before back-to-back games in Toronto.

In that game Matthews had 8 shots on goal, we suspect he could see a similar load tonight. Keep an eye on NHL betting odds at the top-rated sportsbooks for insights on Matthews’ performance tonight. For this game, we have a YouTube video featuring an extra pick as well as an extra one for the Panthers-Lightning Game 3.

Matthews Will Stay Pounding Bruins Net 

Auston Matthews scored the winning goal in the previous game, and he also managed to have 8 shots on the net. On home ice tonight we suspect Matthews will get a similar amount of chances, especially if the Maple Leafs go down a goal or two.

Overall this season Matthews has been averaging 4.7 shots per game and throughout his entire NHL career he has averaged 3.6 shots against the Bruins.

Matthews has covered the over 4.5 shots line in his opening two games of the playoffs having had 5 and 8 shots respectively. We are more than happy to bet on the league’s top goalscorer and 3rd highest shot taker this season to go over 4.5 shots at -130.

The Pick

We would even be bold enough to suggest his alternative line at over 5.5 shots for around +125 odds.
