Drai has a strong start and has shown he can score 50+ multiple times before. And the Oilers PP has been terrible so there’s lots of room for improvement there even if his ES goals slow down. He’d be my favourite right now

Draisaitl seems most likely. Connor and Reinhart good bets too.

Matthews started too slow and missing 8 games will eliminate him

Matthews missed 9 games in 21-22 coming off surgery and he had 6 in his first 13 games as he was getting back into form. He started with 5 in 13 this year. So, it's still possible, when he goes on his runs he's basically scoring every night and in a field where no one looks particularly strong he could definitely come back and take it

With that said, the Leafs are taking his injury very slow and want him back at 110% before he's in the lineup. I'd best against him winning due to that

Reinhart has 15 goals in 20 games.
Draisaitl has 15 goals in 21 games(13 even strength), that's with McDavid missing 4 games.

The Oilers PP is going to turn it around here at some point, I don't see how Matthews can realistically catch him.

Reinhart is currently pacing for 62, for Matthews to match that he will have to comeback on Wednesday (which is his projected return) and score at a 73 goal pace. It is possible, if there's one guy who can score at that rate it's him as he basically did it last year. Regardless, I'd put the odds relatively low given the system we play + the leafs cautious nature with his injury

Also, Reinhart + Draisaitl are also at a stupidly high shooting%, even for the both of their standards. I'd expect some regression getting them down into the 50-60 goal range

If anyone’s capable of coming back and winning it’s him. He’s shown a higher level when he’s on than anyone else and I wouldn’t be surprised if no one on this list tops 55 or so. It’ll be interesting to see where he’s at when he’s back because he won’t have that much leeway though.
