Leg 1: Buffalo Sabres +1.5 (-146)

Despite being relatively out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, the Sabres are quietly playing some good hockey and have posted a 6-4 record over their last ten games.
The Sabres are a solid road team, boasting a 15-12-3 record as the visitors.
The Sabres have played the Maple Leafs well over the last three years. Buffalo has won six of the previous eight matchups.
We don’t need the Sabres to win this contest outright, but keep this a one-goal game, which has value at -146.

Leg 2: Auston Matthews Anytime Goal Scorer (-130)

It’s no secret that Auston Matthews has been taking the NHL world by storm. He continues to be on a torrid pace as the league’s top goal scorer for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Matthews has recorded 53 goals and 26 assists this season.
Matthews has tallied 17 goals in 24 career games against the Sabres.
Despite the price tag being juiced at -130, there’s still value in Matthews finding the back of the net tonight.

Leg 3: Tage Thompson to Record 3+ Shots on Goal (-215)

Although it hasn’t been a picture-perfect campaign due to injuries, there’s still a lot to like about Tage Thompson.
Thompson has registered just 35 points in 52 games, with 18 being goals.
Still, the 6’6" center is getting chances, meaning good things will come for him moving forward.
Over Thompson’s last five games, he’s recorded at least three shots on goal.
With the consistency Thompson has brought to the table of late, this is a great third leg to our parlay at -215.
