The article focuses on Toronto Maple Leafs vs. New York Islanders NHL game predictions, highlighting Mitch Marner's power-play effectiveness against the Islanders' struggling penalty kill. It analyzes Marner's recent stats and performance, emphasizing his increased role without Auston Matthews.
Toronto's power play doesn't score as much as it should, but when it does, Mitch Marner is often involved. There are 12 games in the NHL , including an Eastern Conference clash between the New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs at UBS Arena. New York’s penalty kill is the worst in the league, and my Maple Leafs vs. Islanders predictions look to Mitch Marner to tally a power-play point.The unit also seems to be getting worse as the season goes on.
It operated at just 53% throughout December after allowing a power-play goal in seven of its last eight games. The Maple Leafs have scored a goal on the man advantage in six of their last nine games, including Tuesday afternoon against this lowly Isles PK. Marner factored into that goal and has cashed on his power-play points prop in five of his last nine games. The Leafs skilled winger leads the Leafs with 20 points on the power play. Considering Toronto's PP has only lit the lamp 23 times, that’s quite remarkable. If the Leafs get a few opportunities tonight, Marner has a good chance of cashing this prop once again. Auston Matthews is out once again, and Marner becomes a much more trigger-happy player without 34 in the lineup. Marner has scored 10 of his 13 goals when AM34 sits out. He's averaging 2.48 shots per game this season but has had two or more shots in 10 of the 14 games with Matthews out of the lineup, including four of his last five games. Marner is currently riding an eight-game point streak and has scored in five of the last eight meetings against New York. I expect him to score tonight in front of a raucous Islander crowd.
