After he came up empty on Saturday, our Red Wings vs. Maple Leafs predictions are eyeing an Auston Matthews goal in today's matinee.
It wasn't for a lack of trying. Auston Matthews took six shots on goal and rattled a pair off the iron vs. the Red Wings on Saturday. With the venue shifting to Toronto, we like the Maple Leafs captain to break through today.
We’ve got 10 games on the NHL betting slate tonight, including an Original Six matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Detroit Red Wings. Auston Matthews hit two posts in the Saturday matchup against Detroit. Still, with the home-and-home shifting to Toronto, my Red Wings vs. Maple Leafs predictions expect him to find twine tonight at Scotiabank Arena. Detroit won Saturday's game in its barn, so Toronto is hoping to return the favor. Although the Leafs are 1-1-0, the on-ice play hasn’t looked great. Toronto has a 38% xGF at 5-on-5. That cannot continue if the Leafs want to be a playoff team, and I expect the captain to be the one to lead them out of this early-season funk. Auston Matthews failed to register a shot at 5-on-5 in the season opener, and then erupted for six against Detroit, proving to be far more dangerous than the game prior. Along with the six shots on goal, Matthews ripped two pucks off the iron, as he hit a post and crossbar. He still hasn’t beaten a goaltender yet this season , but the multitude of chances against Detroit suggests he should soon. Matthews has had success against the Red Wings in the past, scoring seven goals over the last 10 meetings and 19 career tallies in 28 games. Moreover, with Cowan on his wing, I expect a little more offensive zone starts for the top line to ease the rookie into his debut. More time in the O-Zone means a higher likelihood of Matthews scoring.’s gone over this number in back-to-back games and seems to be re-energized this season by being back on the PP1. He's got seven shots on goal through two games.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
