🚨 Auston Matthews Over 3.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Matthews has the most shots on goal in the playoffs (45), two ahead of Connor McDavid. He was excellent in Florida for Game 6, proving naysayers wrong, at least for one game. While Matthews' got fortunate on his Game 6 goal, the Maple Leafs captain finished with four shots on goal, tied for the most with Carter Verhaeghe.

He has 10 shots in the last two games and hit the Over in two of three home games. While an increased shot total is harder to come by in most defense-first Game 7s, Matthews - more than anyone on the ice - will understand the importance of having an instrumental part to play in the must-win game.

🚨 Brad Marchand Under 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐

Despite Marchand's consistency in notching a point against the Maple Leafs, he has struggled mightily with his shot production.

He mustered at least two shots on goal in three of 11 playoff contests, including only one versus the Maple Leafs. Marchand's release is considerably slower than it was a few years ago, and the Maple Leafs have not allowed him enough space to wind up and fire on Joseph Woll.

He hit the Over once in the last eight games, a two-shot output in Game 2. It's only a three-star play, as it's still a low-shot total, and he has a knack for showing up in these critical encounters against the Buds.

But this time will be different. A winning $10 wager at bet365 would profit $10.50.
