Auston Matthews over 0.5 goals (+105)
Auston Matthews is now leading the NHL in goals with 37 in 49 games. He’s the most consistent goalscorer in the entire league and he’s looking to record his first-ever 50-goal season. He’s currently on a 3-game goal streak, in that stretch he’s recorded 4 goals. Matthews is just starting to catch fire and this is the best he’s looked all season. He’s 4th in league scoring, now just 7 points back. He’s starting to create a solid argument that he is the best player in the league and is deserving of the MVP trophy. Tonight provides him an opportunity to add to his season’s resume. This is the first time these teams have played in more than two years. There is an element of the unknown tonight, but the way Matthews has been scoring it’s almost been automatic. Take him to record over 0.5 goals tonight.
