Our NHL expert Mike DeStefano has found amazing value in a goal-scoring prop and anticipates the Maple Leafs captain to find the back of the net against Edmonton.
NHL
We’ve got nine games on the NHL betting slate today, including a marquee matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Place.
I’m looking at the tremendous value in the Auston Matthews goal market tonight and like it enough to secure the wager as my best bet of the night.
Find out why my Maple Leafs vs. Oilers predictions and NHL picks for Saturday, February 1.
My Leafs pick
Auston Matthews anytime goal (+130 at Sports Interaction)
My Leafs analysis
Auston Matthews anytime goal
Auston Matthews 3+ shots
Zach Hyman 2+ shots
For the first leg of the SGP, we’ll stick with the best bet and take Matthews to score an anytime goal and keep his streak alive against the Oilers.
Next up, we’ll continue riding the Matthews prop trains and take him to record 4+ shots on goal tonight. He’s gone over this number in four of his last six games and has averaged 4.15 shots per game in his career when facing the Oilers.
For the final leg of our SGP, let’s continue to attack the shots props and go across the aisle and grab former Maple Leaf Zach Hyman to record 2+ shots on net. He’s hit this total in seven of his last 10 outings and is averaging 2.91 shots per game this season.
