William Nylander over 1.5 points (-115)
The latest large contract in the NHL belongs to William Nylander. Hot off the presses, Nylander just signed an 8-year extension worth $92 million with the Maple Leafs. He is having a career season and should have even more of a jump in his step on Tuesday night on the back of this exciting extension. Nylander's 21 goals are second on the Maple Leafs. His 33 assists and 54 points both lead Toronto and they are not even halfway through the season with 37 out of 82 games played.
Obviously, Nylander is a stud. But it certainly does not hurt that he also plays with some combination of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, and Morgan Reilly. Nylander and this star-studded team have a very favorable matchup on Tuesday against the Sharks. San Jose has lost 11 straight games and allow the most goals per game in the NHL. Nylander had 2 goals and an assist against the Sharks on Saturday and there is no reason he cannot have a repeat performance.
