Maple Leafs vs Coyotes Moneyline Pick: Maple Leafs (-180)

The Maple Leafs are riding momentum, winning their last four, and that should continue against the struggling Coyotes.

Arizona hasn’t been playing well, and though its offense hasn’t been strong, its defense has been even worse. In its last five games, Arizona has given up 4.6 goals a game, allowing four or more goals in seven of its last 10 games.

That disappointing defense doesn’t bode well for a Coyotes team welcoming a hot Toronto team to town, which has averaged 4.8 goals a game in its last five games, scoring at least four goals in each of its last four games. Pair that with the Maple Leafs’ defense holding teams to two goals a game in their last four, and Arizona could be in trouble.

Maple Leafs vs Coyotes Player Prop Pick: Auston Matthews Over 1½ Points (+131)

Auston Matthews leads the league with 49 goals and the Maple Leafs with 73 points, and he has been strong through February as Toronto’s offense has taken a step forward as well.

Matthews has 15 points so far this month, scoring at least two points in five of his last six games. His production has traced him too, as Matthews has 35 points in 27 games away from home. With the Maple Leafs expected to keep up the scoring surge against Arizona, Matthews is a great player prop bet to get in on the action and keep his production up.
