There are seven games on the NHL schedule tonight, including an intriguing Eastern Conference matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena.

Tonight, my Maple Leafs vs. Capitals predictions are for the Buds to bounce back and take advantage of a suddenly leaky Washington defense, with the NHL odds offering good value in the shooting prop market.

Find out why I’m specifically targeting William Nylander with my free membership NHL Pick for Wednesday, November 13 with puck drop scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Sportsnet.

My Leafs pick
William Nylander Over 3.5 shots on goal (-105 at Sports Interaction)

My analysis of the Leafs
THE Toronto Maple Leafs are coming off a 3-0 loss last night to the Ottawa Senators and are crossing the border to play the Washington Capitals to try to right the ship.

Washington was one of the surprises early in the season this year with a 10-4 record and several players averaging well over a point per game. However, an interesting trend is emerging over the last five games that the betting market can exploit tonight.

The Caps rank ninth in the NHL, allowing just 27.8 shots per game. However, that number has jumped to 34.6 over their last five games, which ranks 29th in November.

Toronto is certainly a high-volume shooting team, especially on the road, where they average 31.7 shots per game.

William Nylander recorded a team-high 59 shots on goal and topped the shots-on-goal total by 3.5 tonight in back-to-back games, including last night, where he played poorly and still managed to put up five pucks on target. It is also a number lower than his average of shots per match in his last twelve confrontations (3.83).

Additionally, Nylander has always been the type of athlete who plays well while playing guilty. There’s a good chance that Craig Berube and the coaching staff gave him credit for his poor performance last night, which usually lights a fire under him.

I’m counting on this to allow Nylander to have a night and confidently shoot with determination all evening.

Parlay in the same game Maple Leafs vs Capitals (SGP)

William Nylander 4+ shots on goal

William Nylander, anytime goal

More than 4.5

We’ll pair Nylander’s shots with a goal any time. He has scored at least once in four of the last five meetings between the two teams and has seven goals in his last nine games against the Caps. He’s also just one goal away from the league lead (12), so he should be motivated to stay at the top of the leaderboard every night.

Finally, we will finish the bet by taking the alternate 4.5 goal Over tonight. We’ve seen at least five scored in this match in 10 consecutive meetings. Additionally, these teams average 7.14 goals scored per game.
