Golden Knights vs Maple Leafs Picks & Props

I’m expecting the building to be loud and for the boo birds to be squawking all night long.

However, from a betting perspective, I actually like the Over on Marner’s shot prop. He’ll be motivated by his return tonight, and I fully expect him to shoot the puck quite often in an attempt to make a difference in the game.

His total is set at 2.5 shots. He went over that number in the last meeting and has registered 3+ shots in five of his last seven games. 

Additionally, both teams have been hitting the Over with regularity, combining to go 54-40-4 between the two clubs this season with Toronto topping the 6.5 goal mark in five of its last six games, while Vegas is 6-3-1 to the Over in its last 10. 

Toronto also averages 3.57 goals on home ice this season, and with Marner in town, I expect them to be extra-motivated tonight.

As for Vegas, they’re coming off a tight loss to Boston last night, but have been filling the net with authority lately, averaging 4.2 goals over their last 10 games, including a six-spot last week.
