Maple Leafs picks vs. Islanders Feb. 5
Best Bet: Under 6.5 (-109)
Quick pick: Marner anytime goalscorer (+155)
The Maple Leafs carry a three-game winning streak into Monday's game against the Islanders, who have lost three straight.
Taking into account the rust factor from an extended break, I'm taking the under as my best bet. This shouldn't pose an issue for Mitch Marner, however, who holds value to score.
