By Dana Forden
Maple Leafs left wing Matias Maccelli has points in 30 of 68 games this season and should have a greatly increased role on top of a great matchup against the Panthers.
He has replaced Easton Cowan on Toronto's top line, and Cowan had been playing a ton of minutes in that spot.
I expect Maccelli to get more or less those 5-vs-5 minutes playing next to William Nylander and John Tavares.
The Maple Leafs are at home, playing against a team of AHLers, which is currently what is left of the Panthers.
Best Bet: Matias Maccelli Over 0.5 Points (-110, DraftKings)
