Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins
A rivalry matchup takes center stage as the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Boston Bruins. The Maple Leafs remain in a tight battle for the top spot in the Atlantic Division, while the Bruins are fighting for one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. One consistent factor in this rivalry has been Auston Matthews‘ ability to generate scoring chances. Throughout his tenure in Toronto, Matthews has been a force against the Bruins, and he has recorded five or more shots on goal in two of his last four games against Boston. With this favorable history and the high stakes involved, the value on this prop is too good to pass up.
Best Bet: Auston Matthews to Record 5+ Shots on Goal (+175)
Anaheim Ducks vs Buffalo Sabres
Although this season has not unfolded as planned for either the Buffalo Sabres or Anaheim Ducks, there is still value in this matchup. The Sabres are evaluating their roster, but one player they can rely on is Tage Thompson. The big forward has been streaky throughout his career, but he is currently on a tear, registering six goals and five assists in his last five games. Facing a struggling Ducks defense at home provides an excellent opportunity for Thompson to continue his hot streak. With the form he’s showing, this high-reward prop bet is worth considering.
Best Bet: Tage Thompson to Record 2+ Goals (+950)

Calgary Flames vs Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals have been lighting up the scoreboard recently, scoring 15 goals over their last two games. While much of the focus remains on a future Hall of Famer’s key goal chase in Washington, John Carlson has been instrumental in their offensive success. The veteran defenseman eats up minutes and is an elite puck-mover, helping create scoring chances for his teammates. Over his last five games, Carlson has recorded six assists, making this prop an appealing option. Given his crucial role in the Capitals’ offense, betting on him to register at least one point against the Calgary Flames is a solid value play.
Best Bet: John Carlson to Record Over 0.5 Points (-104)
