The Toronto Maple Leafs host the New Jersey Devils in a matchup of underachieving Eastern Conference teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Hockey fans and bettors expected Toronto and New Jersey to be in playoff spots by this point in the season. Neither is, making tonight a crucial opportunity for either side to pick up two points. There are plenty of offensive stars in this contest, but I have my eye on a trio from the visiting side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Devils vs. Maple Leafs prop picks for Dec. 30, featuring Timo Meier, Luke Hughes and Dougie Hamilton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devils vs. Maple Leafs prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Hamilton over 2.5 shots (+110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton is pointless in his last 15 games and 22 of his last 23 contests, but it isn’t for a lack of trying. The blueliner is still putting plenty of rubber on goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton has topped this total in two of his last four games, and his shot attempts remain at a very high level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Take Hamilton to clear his shot prop<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has 75 shot attempts in his last 11 games, an average of 6.8 per contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, as a defenceman, a high percentage of Hamilton’s shots don’t make it through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Hamilton should be able to get some pucks through against the Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto is allowing the second-most goals per game this season (31.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect Hamilton to clear through this total on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Hamilton is averaging 2.5 shots on goal per game and should exceed this mark in a plus matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best NHL prop picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Meier to score 1+ points (-124):<\/strong> Meier is pointless in his last four games, but like Hamilton, he’s due for some better puck luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meier is still heavily involved offensively. He has 20 shots during this stretch with 38 total shot attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Back Meier vs. the Maple Leafs at NorthStar Bets<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His chances of notching a point on Tuesday are bolstered by Toronto’s porous defence and goaltending. The Maple Leafs are surrendering the fifth-most goals per game and the fourth-most scoring chances per 60 (30.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meier’s spot in the lineup keeps him involved on a nightly basis. The winger skates on the team’s first line alongside Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hughes to score 1+ points (+102):<\/strong> Add Hughes to the list of underperforming Devils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the other two guys on my card, Hughes is battling a dry spell. He doesn’t have a point in his last three games and is pointless in 11 of his last 15 contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, again, this matchup is too good to ignore on several fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Bet on Hughes and the Devils tonight<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I expect a big offensive output, and Hughes should be involved. The rearguard skates on the team’s top power play with elite playmakers like Hischier, Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hughes leads New Jersey in shot attempts (232) and should be able to get plenty of pucks on goal against the Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
