Ottawa Senators at Toronto Maple Leafs
William Nylander Anytime Goalscorer (+120)
The Maple Leafs are still without Auston Matthews, leaving Nylander as the primary source of goalscoring. He has netted a goal in eight of 16 games this season and continues to perform well at home, netting one in six of nine home games thus far. Linus Ullmark is expected to draw his ninth start of the season and although Nylander has yet to face Ullmark in Senators threads, he has still found a ton of success against the team in past meetings, scoring at least one goal in seven of the last 12 matchups.
Ullmark has given the Senators more consistency between the pipes but he is still struggling a bit and posts -3.8 goals saved above expected. Nylander hasn’t slowed down one bit and ranks third on the team in both expected goals (6.5) and expected goals per 60 (1.32) as well as first in goals above expected (4.5). He’s getting high-quality chances on net and it should continue tonight in an expected high-scoring matchup. Seven of the last 10 meetings between these two teams have featured at least six total goals.
New Jersey Devils at Florida Panthers
Sam Reinhart Anytime Goalscorer (+115)
As we did with Nylander, we’ll be trusting another potent goalscorer to get the job done tonight in Reinhart. He’s carrying the Panthers right now with 11 goals and 12 assists through the first 15 games of the season and shouldn’t slow down tonight against New Jersey, who should start Jacob Markstrom. Markstrom has been solid for the Devils –– allowing just 2.67 goals per game but he still allows -3.6 goals saved above expected.
The Panthers are electric offensively and Reinhart is the main reason for it. He ranks first on the team in expected goals (6.0) and goals per 60 (2.19). He has scored a goal in nine of 15 games and in four of seven home games this season. Plus, the return of Aleksander Barkov has proven to be crucial for the success of Reinhart and the first line over the last few games. Although the Devils have improved in goals allowed, the competitiveness is always high between these two teams with eight of the last 10 meetings featuring six or more goals. I’d be shocked if Reinhart doesn’t join in on the fun.
