Top NHL Betting Picks and Predictions for Today's Matches
Auston Matthews Over 0.5 Goals vs. Florida - 7:00 p.m. ET
Matthews has been held without a goal in three of his last four games, but he has put 15 shots on net over that stretch, including five shots in Game 1 versus the Panthers. He's simply putting too much rubber into opposing netminders for this mini-slump to continue. While I do expect some pushback from the Cats in this one, I think Matthews should be capable of leading the charge for the Leafs.
Carter Verhaeghe Over 2.5 Hits at Toronto - 7:00 p.m. ET
Verhaeghe has been throwing his body around for the Panthers over the last three games -- dishing out 18 hits over that stretch, well above his 2.5 line. After a contentious Game 1, the physicality should be amped up even further for the Cats, and Verhaeghe figures to be a key part of that. Even if this line were sitting at 3.5, I would consider taking the Over here.
Mikko Rantanen Over 0.5 Goals at Winnipeg - 9:30 p.m. ET
While Rantanen won't be playing for revenge against his former club, the Avalanche, he is still playing at an unbelievable level right now. He's scored five goals in his last three matchups while also chipping in six helpers over that stretch. I'll be rolling with the goalscorer Demon play, but I think the assist Demon play is also an option, as well as the safer Goblin of over 0.5 points. There are a ton of options available to back Rantanen in this one -- really just pick any one you like.
