The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Lightning are hot on the Leafs’ heels in the Atlantic Division and can make up some crucial ground with a win. With the way Toronto has played recently, I’m interested in prop picks on Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman and Brandon Hagel tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Maple Leafs props vs. Lightning for Jan. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple Leafs props vs. Lightning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to full NHL betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Hedman to record 1+ points (-130)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big blue-liner is having another great year, recording 36 points in 42 games played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto started the season with one of the top defensive units in the NHL, but that hasn’t been the case lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Dec. 15, the Leafs have allowed 3.3 goals per game. That has raised their season-long average goals against from 2.5 to 3.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s a dangerous way to be playing with the Lightning in town. Tampa Bay leads the NHL in scoring (3.7\/game) and has scored four-plus goals in four of the past six contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those six games, Hedman has seven points and is 6-0 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Hedman also has four points across a pair of games against the Leafs this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hagel over 2.5 shots (-118):<\/strong> Nikita Kucherov unsurprisingly leads the Lightning in shots, but Hagel is just behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Hagel has 129 shots in 44 outings (2.9\/game).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The winger has cleared this line in 7\/8 since Jan. 5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Toronto is a solid defensive team but as mentioned before, the side has been struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Leafs give up the 10th-most shots per game (29.2), which is part of the reason why their goals against have increased significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the two previous meetings this season, The Lightning outshot the Leafs by a combined total of 75-58. They recorded 34-plus shots in both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tampa has the offensive talent to once again out-chance Toronto during its poor run of defensive play, and Hagel has an enticing price on his shots prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
