Auston Matthews Lifts Leafs Over Devils in Unexpected High-Scoring Affair

Tuesday has a loaded slate of NHL action that still should excite all hockey fans with some sensational matchups like the Maple Leafs traveling to the Garden State to take on the Devils or the new look Bruins taking on the stumbling Jets. It should be a great night of games and we look to improve on some of our recent hot streaks like our 30-19 record on game total and team unders this season.

Bet: Auston Matthews anytime goal (+120), Maple Leafs Devils Over 6.0 goals (-120)

This should be an elite showcase between two exceptional goaltenders in Toronto's Anthony Stolarz and Jersey's Jacob Markstrom. The Leafs and Devils are fifth and sixth in goals against average respectively this season but this setting in New Jersey may be unfavorable for both sides.

Toronto's road averages drop to 3.55 on the season while New Jersey has a brutal 3.20 average at home. Both teams are bottom ten in the league when it comes to these circumstances and could create a high-scoring affair that many may not expect.

We anticipate a big outing from Leafs captain Auston Matthews, who recently returned to the lineup guns-a-blazing with three goals and four assists in five games. Matthews has goals in 12 of his 19 career games against the Devils, totalling 18 goals, including two hat-tricks.
