The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to play spoiler when they visit the San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center tonight.
While the young and talented San Jose core is chasing down a postseason berth, it’s Toronto rookie Easton Cowan headlining my top Maple Leafs vs. Sharks predictions and NHL picks for Thursday, April 2.
Maple Leafs vs Sharks prediction
Maple Leafs vs Sharks best bet: Easton Cowan Over 0.5 points (+110)
Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Easton Cowan collected a pair of assists in his last game and is expected to stay in a top offensive role, skating alongside John Tavares and William Nylander on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit.
The trio boasts an impressive 58.9 Corsi For percentage at five-on-five and has been on the ice for 7.13 goals per 60 minutes over the past five games.
Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks are playing for the second consecutive night and have also allowed the second-most goals per game.

In addition to San Jose giving up goals in bunches and playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Toronto is embracing the spoiler role and has won three of its past four contests.
Additionally, the Maple Leafs have allowed the third-most goals per game this season, so I’m anticipating a high-scoring affair tonight.
