🚨 My best player prop pick: Noah Hanifin 1+ assist (+144 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

My best Maple Leafs vs. Golden Knights pick & score prediction

I'm predicting the Golden Knights will beat the Maple Leafs in a game with five or fewer goals. 

🏒 Golden Knights ML ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a situational pick based on a few key variables. First, the Maple Leafs have been superb for the better part of two months. But after reeling off five straight victories, they struggled against a San Jose Sharks team that had one win in the 15 games prior to beating Toronto at Scotiabank Arena. 

While I don't think the Maple Leafs will let the 3-2 loss against the Sharks impact their morale or confidence, playing in Vegas on the first game of a road trip can represent a challenging proposition. 

The Golden Knights have won three in a row at home while winning five of the previous six. They are tied for the third-best home points percentage (.758) with a 22-6-3 record. In addition, the opening puck drop occurs at 10 p.m. ET, three hours later than most Maple Leafs' games. 

While the later game time isn't a massive advantage by any stretch of the imagination, it still favors the Golden Knights. The Maple Leafs are used to having teams cater to their schedule, but not this time. Combined with the other factors, Vegas should prevail in a low-scoring battle. 

Best odds: -135 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $7.41)

đŸŽ¯ Final score prediction: Golden Knights 3, Maple Leafs 1 

The Golden Knights are rolling while the Maple Leafs face a daunting first game of the road trip after losing at home to the San Jose Sharks. That's why I'm predicting a final score of Golden Knights 3, Maple Leafs 1.  

Correct score odds: +2200 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $220)

💰 Noah Hanifin 1+ assist ⭐⭐⭐

I'm a massive proponent of how Hanifin, the former Calgary Flames defenseman, is fitting in with the Golden Knights. He's playing some of his best hockey at both ends of the rink, and his offensive production is benefitting. The 28-year-old notched at least one helper in five of the last six games, including three in a row. 

His +144 odds at FanDuel, which offer the best price of our best sports betting sites, are one of the most appealing aspects of the bet. If he continues his hot streak, a winning $10 bet will profit $14.40. 

Best odds: +144 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $14.40)
