Toronto Maple Leafs

Players to target: Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Jake Gardiner

The Maple Leafs-Capitals series has been possibly the biggest surprise of this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs.

We have seen two great overtime games and the series is tied 1-1 as they head north of the border. If we look at some possession stats, Toronto has been performing great, especially Auston Matthews' line -- they have posted 72 Corsi For per 60 minutes and a 61.7 Corsi For percentage. Also, don't forget that this is on the road where the Leafs don't get to dictate matchups.

We should see the Matthews' line against the Capitals' second line with Evgeny Kuznetsov, which was great in the regular season, but has allowed a surprising 78 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and only a 46.5 Corsi For percentage so far in the playoffs. Matthews and Nylander combined for nine shots on goal in Game 2, while Gardiner added three shots on goal and an assist.

There should be plenty of scoring chances in a home matchup for the Toronto Maple Leafs' best line, and all three of these players seem underpriced on FanDuel, especially Gardiner at only $4,600.
