Sabres vs. Maple Leafs prop bets: Bet on Marner and Nylander to stay hot

The Maple Leafs can sweep the season series against the Buffalo Sabres with a win tonight.

The pregame narrative: Mitch Marner has been on fire lately and we’re expecting him to stay hot against a Buffalo team that’s lost four straight games. We’re also backing William Nylander to light the lamp.

NHL odds as of 9:17 a.m. on 03/13/2023.

Sabres vs. Maple Leafs prop bets

Best Bet: Marner to record 2+ points (-132)

Marner has recorded nine points in five games this month, clearing this mark in three of those contests. He’s coming off a monster four-point night where he netted a goal with three assists against the Edmonton Oilers.

Marner has 17 points in his last eight appearances, registering multi-point nights in five of those games.

The man is on fire and this isn’t the team to slow him down.

Marner has torched the Sabres this season, recording a season-high five assists when these teams last met on February 21. He also had a pair of assists when they played in November.

Buffalo hasn’t been receiving good goaltending, either, and that should rear its head tonight.

The Sabres are allowing the second-most goals per 60 over the past two weeks (4.61) and have the sixth-worst team save percentage in that span (.875), according to Natural Stat Trick.

Key stat: Marner has seven points against Buffalo in two games this season.

Quick picks

Marner to record 1+ power play point (+100): We’re going to double-dip on Marner’s props by backing him to register a point on the power play.

The winger has done this in each game against Buffalo this season and he has three power-play points in his last two games.

The Sabres have the second-worst penalty-killing percentage in the NHL (72.73%).

Nylander to score (+100): Nylander was on a five-game goalless drought before he scored on Saturday night. We’re not worried about that blip on the radar, though.

The Swede has been consistently producing all season and leads the team in goals (34) and is second in shots (232).

Nylander has scored in both of Toronto’s games against Buffalo this season, totalling three total goals in those contests. He has also scored 23 of his 34 goals at home this season.
