Back Maple Leafs to Extend Win Streak vs Islanders

Moneyline Pick: Maple Leafs (-135)
It’s hard to pick against Toronto in this game, who appear to be firing on all cylinders right now and have an 11-3-5 record away from home.
The Maple Leafs’ offense has continued to play strong, averaging four goals during their win streak, but their defense has stepped up as well, holding teams to one goal or less during that time, posting a shutout as well.
That strong offense should continue against a New York team that has had issues slowing opponents lately, giving up 3.8 goals in its last five games. With goaltender Semyon Varlamov also on injured reserve, leaving Ilya Sorokin to struggle in January so far with a .880 save percentage, the Leafs should be able to outscore the Islanders and continue their win streak in NHL bet predictions.
Player Prop: William Nylander Over 1.5 Points (+112)
Bettors should find some good value from another productive game out of William Nylander, who leads Toronto in points and assists and doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon. He has gotten the new year off to a strong start, recording at least two points in three of the Maple Leafs’ first four games in January and four of their last six, doing so on the road in three of those games.
Nylander also continues to stay productive away from home as he has recorded 29 points in 19 road games. In his last game against New York, he finished with two points as well. In a game where the Leafs should be able to find the back of the net, Nylander should be a good player prop to be a part of that.
