Golden Knights vs. Maple Leafs Prediction: NHL Best Bets & Picks (Friday, Jan. 23)
My Golden Knights vs. Maple Leafs prediction includes my favorite Mitch Marner player prop to target for his first game back in Toronto. I'm expecting plenty of goals in this game, and that's reflected in my top NHL picks for Friday.
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto (ESPN+, Sportsnet+), with the Golden Knights a -125 road betting favorite after beating the Maple Leafs earlier this month.

💰 Golden Knights vs. Maple Leafs best bet: Over 6.5 (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
After the Golden Knights and Maple Leafs combined for 11 goals when they last met in Vegas, tonight's game featuring at least seven goals is the best play on the board.
Though Toronto will have Anthony Stolarz back in net tonight, facing the NHL's No. 5 offense with a banged-up blue line in front of him is a lot to ask of the goaltender in his first game since November.
The Maple Leafs aren't far behind Vegas in offensive proficiency, ranking seventh in goals per game. This matchup profiles as another barn burner between these clubs.
Score prediction: Golden Knights 5, Maple Leafs 3
🔥 Best Golden Knights vs. Maple Leafs prop bet: Mitch Marner Over 2.5 shots on goal (+136) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mitch Marner will surely be pressing tonight offensively. As the boos rain down from the Toronto crowd every time he touches the puck, I expect him to get more shots on goal than usual as he'll play a less patient game than we're used to seeing from Marner.
He's also gone Over this total in five of his last seven games, including versus the Maple Leafs.
I'm thrilled with the plus-money odds we're receiving at FanDuel, and I'm also targeting an Auston Matthews goal as part of my NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
