Betway Bets of the Day: Canucks host Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals

The Canucks ended their three-game road trip in style, with an OT win over the Sharks. With five wins in their past six games, Vancouver is only one point out of a playoff spot.

Vancouver is set to embark on a crucial four-game homestand starting tonight against Washington. Here are three bets I like for tonight’s game.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Pettersson has been absolutely everywhere for the Canucks recently eclipsing 19 shots in his last four games which is an average of 4.75 per game. I like the over again tonight.

John Carlson to register over 2.5 shots at -163. My $10 bet would return $16.15.

John Carlson has registered 30 shots in his past five games which is an average of five per game. I’m surprised his over/under line hasn’t moved to 3.5. At 2.5 the over is as close to a lock as you’ll see.

Evgeny Kuznetsov and Elias Pettersson to register 3 or more shots at +200. My $5 bet would return $15.

Betway has introduced a “player specials” section where they have prebuilt parlays now with shot props. Pettersson’s shot prowess has been touched on above. Kuznetsov has 20 shots in his last 6 games which is an average of 3.33 per game.

I like this bet, I’m okay with sprinkling half a unit here.

Timo Meier to register over 4.5 shots at -143. My $10 bet would return $17.00. -HIT

Elias Pettersson to register over 2.5 shots at -150. My $10 bet would return $16.66. – HIT

Timo Meier and Bo Horvat both to score a goal at +325. My $5 bet would return $21.25. – MISSED

An okay two for three last game. We staked $25 and returned $33.66. Our total for the year now has us down $11.85.
