William Nylander is expected to take a heavy volume of shots against a leaky Jets defense in the absence of Auston Matthews.
William Nylander continues to climb the NHL goal-scoring ladder, partly due to his high shot volume. He's projected to maintain that pace against a vulnerable Jets defense in the absence of Auston Matthews , according to our NHL betting predictions. Today's betting slate features 13 games, including an all-Canadian matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.
With Auston Matthews expected to miss the game, Toronto will rely on William Nylander to deliver again, and his shot prop bet stands out. This marks the second encounter between these teams this year. Toronto secured a 6-4 victory in their first meeting back in October, inflicting Winnipeg's first loss of the season. The Maple Leafs have dominated recently, winning six consecutive games against the Jets, outscoring them 26-11 while averaging 31.5 shots per game. Despite leading the NHL with 24 wins, the Jets have struggled defensively, allowing 29.2 shots on goal per game, ranking 23rd in the league. Toronto's offense thrived in their previous meeting against Winnipeg in October, unleashing 36 shots on goal. This marked the third consecutive game against the Jets where the Maple Leafs generated 30+ shots. Nylander's shot prop is set at 3.5. The Leafs' skilled winger averages 4.4 shots per game when Matthews is absent this season. He averages 3.55 shots per game overall and has registered four or more shots in four of his last six outings. The Jets rank in the bottom 10 of the league in shot suppression and concede the eighth-most high-danger chances this season. Nylander leads the Leafs in shots and individual high-danger chances and is just one goal away from tying for the NHL lead in goals
