No one else on the Leafs has more than 27 shots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The centreman has scored five goals in 10 games, which is a very respectable 41-goal pace. But there&#8217;s an argument to be made that he&#8217;s still underachieving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg1JnA9MzEwMjY%3D\">Bet on Auston Matthews tonight<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthews has 6.6 expected goals, per Money Puck. That also ranks sixth in the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Columbus has been solid defensively, but it allows the second-most shots per game (32.8). Eventually, that&#8217;ll catch up to the Blue Jackets, and Matthews is an elite sniper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Matthews had two goals on 12 shots in three games against Columbus last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:120421\">Embed: #120421<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NHL prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rielly to score 1+ points (+105):<\/strong> Rielly was on fire to start the season, recording six points in his first six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s cooled off significantly, but it&#8217;s time for him to break his pointless drought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rielly certainly isn&#8217;t short on opportunities.

When the Leafs start scoring with the man advantage, the points will pile up for Rielly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, the power play has a great matchup tonight. The Blue Jackets own the NHL&#8217;s second-worst penalty kill (63.3%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great chance for Toronto to break out offensively, and Rielly has great value following three straight games without a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maple Leafs picks made at 11:35 a.m. ET 10\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets take part in the lone NHL game on Wednesday.
