Maple Leafs vs. Oilers same-game parlay picks: Back Toronto to win and Nylander to score a point

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are set for a heavyweight battle at Rogers Place tonight.

The pregame narrative: Toronto has won three straight games and we’re expecting them to keep rolling against an Edmonton team that’s lost two in a row. We’re also backing William Nylander and Leon Draisaitl to find the score sheet.

Maple Leafs vs. Oilers same-game parlay

(+200)

Leafs moneyline (-134): Toronto has hit its stride and Kyle Dubas’ recent additions should only further the team’s success.

The Leafs have won seven of their past 10 games including each of their past three. In that same 10-game span the Oilers have won just three times (3-4-3).

Edmonton is also only 14-12-5 at home, meaning it lost more games on home ice (17) than it won (14).

Expect Toronto to keep scoring at a torrid pace tonight. The Buds have netted an average of 3.9 goals in their past 10 games and beaten opponents by three-plus goals six times in that span.

Other parlay picks

Nylander to score 1+ points (-245): Nylander has elevated his game to a different level this year and ranks second on the Maple Leafs with 72 points.

He’s on a particularly impressive heater over the past seven games, finding the scoresheet in each contest while registering five goals and 13 points.

Nylander has scored a point in 14 of his past 16 games.

Draisaitl to score 1+ points (-480): As good as Nylander has been, Draisaitl has been even better. The former Hart Trophy winner has netted 89 points — the second-best mark in the league — in 59 games.

He’s also found the stat sheet in nine straight contests and scored goals in seven of those games.

Riding shotgun with Connor McDavid certainly helps his point production, too. The MVP frontrunner already has 115 points this season.
