That ranks 16th in the NHL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s 9-5 against this line over the past 14 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On March 13 vs. the Panthers, Nylander tallied a team-high six shots (out of Toronto&#8217;s 25 total).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On a nightly basis, the Swedish winger has to share opportunities with Auston Matthews and other high-octane offensive talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he continues to shine through, leading Toronto in both shots (237) and goals (42) this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthews&#8217; shot total is set at 3.5 for a similar price, so I&#8217;ll buy in on Nylander instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Nylander has tallied three-plus shots in both games against Florida this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tavares anytime goalscorer (+170):<\/strong> I love the value here on the red-hot former captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tavares has been the Leafs&#8217; best player lately, scoring eight goals in his past six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was held pointless against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday, but he notched 11 points in the five games before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Tavares was due for a down game, it just happened, so I&#8217;m going to jump right back on the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s the magic of a contract year or the relief of not wearing the &#8220;C&#8221; anymore, but Tavares sits second on the Leafs and 11th in the NHL with 35 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, he scored one of Toronto&#8217;s goals in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maple Leafs vs. Panthers prop picks made at 9:35 a.m. ET 04\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs look to hold the top spot in the Atlantic Division as they face one of their challengers, the Florida Panthers.
