💰 Best player prop bets for Rangers vs. Maple Leafs
Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.
⬆️ Auston Matthews Over 3.5 shots (-142) ⭐⭐⭐
Matthews isn't hesitating in the least to let it rip. While that's been true for most of his career, the Maple Leafs captain has been showing his intention to be among the shot leaders this season, hoping that sustained high volume will lead to more goals. Matthews has logged 19 shots in his last three contests, leading to 6.33 per-game average.
Matthews attempted 6-plus shots in two straight contests against the Detroit Red Wings. He's also hit the Over on this total in four straight home matchups against the Blueshirts, averaging 5.5.
The short -143 odds downgrade the bet to a three-star rating. A winning $10 wager would profit $7.04.
⬆️ Matthew Knies Over 0.5 assists (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Knies has logged five assists in four games to start the season, three of which came at home against the Nashville Predators in Toronto's last outing.
He's built excellent chemistry with Matthews, and while the Rangers have only allowed one goal in two road games, the Maple Leafs broke out for seven against Nashville.
I don't expect many goals tonight, but there's a 43.48% chance, according to the +130 odds, that Knies will pop up with another helper. Based on his white-hot form, I'm inclined to agree. A winning $10 bet at DraftKings will profit $13.

🔥 Artemi Panarin anytime goal scorer (+200) ⭐⭐⭐
The Breadman is overdue for a goal. He hasn't scored across his team's five games to start the season, but Panarin lit the lamp in two of his last three overall against the Buds and two of the previous three at Scotiabank Arena.
I can't see him being held off the scoresheet much longer. That's especially true after a more promising performance the last time out against the Edmonton Oilers, in which he tallied five shots on goal.
You'll earn a profit of $20 on a $10 bet if Panarin scores his first of the season tonight.
