Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews never goes long without finding twine, and a game against the New Jersey Devils may be exactly what he needs to snap his current skid.
Find out why with my free Maple Leafs vs. Devils predictions and NHL picks for this Wednesday, March 4 matchup.
Maple Leafs vs Devils prediction
Maple Leafs vs Devils best bet: Auston Matthews anytime goal (+135)
Auston Matthews hasn’t scored in eight games, and his +135 anytime goal odds for tonight are reflective of that skid.
However, he looked more dangerous against Philadelphia with eight shots and multiple scoring chances on Tuesday, which leads me to believe he’s close to busting the slump.
The New Jersey Devils are the perfect opponents to give the Toronto Maple Leafs captain the confidence to find the back of the net again.
Matthews has 21 goals in 22 career games against the Devils, including goals in six of the last eight matchups.

Maple Leafs vs Devils same-game parlay
I’ll continue hammering Matthews props against the Devils by adding Over 3.5 shots to my SGP. Matthews had eight shots in his last game and is averaging 3.68 against New Jersey.
Lastly, I’ll take the Over of 5.5 total goals tonight. Defense has been optional for both teams this season, and with one eye looking toward the trade deadline on Friday, I can see a mistake or two to add to tonight’s goal total. Additionally, the Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings between these two.
