Monday, March 13, 2023 – 07:30 PM EDT at Scotiabank Arena
Mitch Marner (Toronto Maple Leafs)
Over 1.5 Assists
- Goals Scored: 24
- Goals Assisted: 59
- Shots Per Game: 2.47
Toronto winger Mitch Marner has been on fire this season, he leads the team as their overall top points scorer with 83 in total and we are targeting him to see Over 1.5 assists in tonight’s game at +130 NHL odds.
Marner is coming into this game having had a hat trick of assists in his previous game against the Edmonton Oilers and we fancy his chances of seeing 2+ again tonight as opponents Buffalo Sabres allow the 6th most amount of goals per game with 3.62.
Furthermore, Marner has not only been on fire since the all-star break having had six multi-assist games, but he has also scored seven assists in just two matchups against the Sabres this season, scoring 5 and 2 assists in each game.
We expect a high-scoring affair between these two teams and we are more than happy to bet the Maple Leafs’ main man right now to keep rolling.

Tage Thompson (Buffalo Sabres)
Anytime Goalscorer
- Goals Scored: 42
- Goals Assisted: 44
- Shots Per Game: 3.75
Tage Thompson has been one of the most improved players this season, his previous career best was last season when he scored 68 points in 78 games, thus far this season Thompson has the 6th most amount of points in the NHL and has seen 86 points in just 65 games played.
Although the Sabres have been struggling lately winning just 6 of their previous 16 games, Thompson has continued to stay scoring having had at least one point in 12 of those 16 games, including four multi-point games which saw a hat trick of assists scored back to back.
Thompson has been doing great things on the ice this year and we are prepared to take him to get back on the scoreboard having failed to score a goal in his previous four NHL outings.
Toronto is just one of ten teams Thompson has not scored a goal against this season having faced 29 teams so far, scoring against 65% of them.

Jeff Skinner (Buffalo Sabres)
Over 2.5 Shots
- Goals Scored: 29
- Goals Assisted: 37
- Shots Per Game: 2.93
The Toronto-born Jeff Skinner faces his hometown tonight and we are targeting his Over 2.5 shot total as Skinner has faced the Leafs already twice this season, hitting exactly three shots on both occasions. Furthermore, Skinner has been most productive this season against Buffalo divisional rivals having averaged 3.45 shots per game against Atlantic division opponents.
With the prospect of Rasmus Dahlin being questionable for this game, we like this Skinner NHL pick even more as he might be required to take on some extra shooting responsibility.
The Sabres are 1-6 in their previous seven NHL games and badly need a win tonight, Skinner could be required to step up and make that happen, don’t be surprised to see Skinner end this game with 4+ shots.
