Our Maple Leafs vs. Sabres predictions expect Auston Matthews to do what he does best.
We’ve got five games on the betting slate tonight, including an Atlantic Division clash between the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. The Sabres have been the NHL’s worst team over the past few weeks, and stopping pucks has been a key issue during this rough stretch.
That's why my Maple Leafs vs. Sabres predictions back Auston Matthews to rip one home tonight. will look to get back into the win column after a loss to Detroit on Saturday night. It was the team’s third loss in five games. However, that’s nowhere near as bad as the slump the Buffalo’s biggest issue over this nine-game losing streak has been their inability to stop pucks. Throughout the losing skid, Buffalo’s team save percentage is just .870, which ranks 29th in the NHL over that stretch. Even worse has been the team’s high-danger save percentage, which ranks dead last at .709%. Thus, I’m looking at Toronto's goalscorers for tonight’s game, and there’s one player who’s consistently torched Buffalo. That player would be none other than . The captain has 19 goals in 26 games against the Sabres throughout his nine-year career. He’s also scored in five straight meetings against Buffalo, netting seven total goals over that span. He’s also started to look more like his old self over the past few games. He’s averaging 4.66 shots per game and has been getting many quality looks. One of which found the back of the net in last night’s loss to Detroit. Additionally, he ranks fourth in high-danger chances among all NHLers with at least 250 minutes at 5-on-5 play. That matches up well against Buffalo, which has given up the ninth-most high-danger chances since November 24. If he’s his usual self tonight, the Leafs captain should be able to extend his streak and put one up on the board. We’ll mirror a Matthews goal with his shots prop and take him to register 4+ shots on goal. He averages 4.23 shots per game and has reached this total in five of his last six games. He’s also hit the total in four of the last five meetings against the Sabres. I’m also taking the Leafs on the moneyline. Toronto is 13-4 on home ice this season, outscoring its opponents 53-34. Plus, Buffalo is on a nine-game skid and traveling across the border for the second leg of a back-to-back.Looking to bet on some Leafs action?
