Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

My Pick – Auston Matthews to Account for Over 1.5 Points (+100) at DraftKings

It was expected that the first-round series between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs was going to be a brutal battle. In game one, Boston dominated Toronto with a 5-1 score by limiting the star players of the Maple Leafs. 

Toronto knew that to win the series, they needed their star players like center Austin Matthews to break through and have a dominant performance. On Monday night in game two, Matthews was able to overcome the tough defense of the Bruins to leave the Maple Leafs with a 3-2 win on the road. Matthews accounted for a goal and two assists in the game. 

The series now heads to Toronto in a 1-1 tie. Toronto made a statement in game number two, but they have a chance to make it even bigger statement in game three. If they take game 3, they have a chance to make it 3-1 with a series going back to Boston for game five.

To ensure that the Maple Leafs do get that win on Wednesday night, they will need Matthews to account for another huge performance against an elite defense. It is not easy to account for goals and assists against the Bruins, but Matthews has shown he's done it before. And four games played in the regular season, Matthew says scored three goals and accounted for one assist against the Bruins. 

For Toronto to have a chance and when this game, look no further than the impact from Matthews.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars

My Pick – Jack Eichel to Account for Over 0.5 Points (-175) at DraftKings

The Vegas Golden Knights continue to be the Achilles heel for the Dallas Stars. After still defeating the Stars in all three regular-season games this season, the Golden Knights entered game one of the first-round matchup between the Stars as the underdog. 

In one of the most thrilling matchups of the postseason yet, Vegas came out with a 4-3 win on the road. Some many players and attributes contributed to this big win for Vegas. Among the biggest was center Jack Eichel, who accounted for two assists in the game. 

Eichel continues to be one of the most reliable key players for the Golden Knights as they look to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. He will look to replicate that same performance again tonight as they hope to get a 2-0 series lead heading into Vegas next. 

Eichel has been a tough playmaker against a dominant Stars defense and all three games this season he has accounted for a goal and an assist in the game.
