My Leafs analysis
No Auston Matthews, no problem.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (11-6-2) are currently rolling despite missing their captain. They are 5-1 in his absence, thanks in large part to the collective group all stepping up and all playing a little better.

One player in particular who is currently on the rise is Bobby McMann. The Leafs winger has been on fire with goals in back-to-back games, earning the nickname Bobby McMatthews.

McMann was elevated to the top three games ago and since then he has scored three goals on 17 shots while averaging 17:30 per game, an increase of more than four minutes from his season average.

More ice time = more opportunities.

McMann is averaging 2.61 shots per game this season, but that number has risen to 5.6 since being elevated to top roles alongside John Tavares and Mitch Marner.

The betting line for his shot prop is set at 2.5 tonight. He has reached that number in all three games since the promotion and should be able to do it again tonight against a Vegas Golden Knights team that has given up an average of 29.4 shots per game over the last five games.

McMann is also getting to the right spots on the ice to find success, as he has had seven high-risk individual chances in the last three games.

This should bode well against the Knights, who rank in the bottom 5 of the league in scoring chances and high-danger chances given up at 5-on-5, according to Natural Stat Trick.

Maple Leafs vs. Golden Knights same-game parlay (SGP)

Bobby McMann 3+ shots

McMann is always a goal scorer

More than 4.5 goals

McMann has been dangerous for the Leafs, scoring three goals in as many games as McMann, Tavares and Marner rank fourth in the NHL in goals per 60 minutes. McMatthews was the finisher within the combo with three creases in just over 25 minutes of 5-on-5 play.

Additionally, the Golden Knights have not played well defensively this year and the goaltending has been poor, with a team save percentage of .892.

These two teams combined to score 7.05 goals per game this season and scored 18 goals in the two-game set last season. I bought the total slightly lower because the Leafs play elite defense and games at Scotiabank Arena this year have averaged just 5.46 goals per game.
