Andrei Kuzmenko scored with 4:58 left in the third period to break a third period deadlock and the Vancouver Canucks never looked back, beating the Florida Panthers 5-3. Kuzmenko’s two point effort helped him earn first star honours and Casey DeSmith improved to 2-0 as a Canuck.

Next up for the Canucks is the last game of a gruelling five game road trip against the Nashville Predators. Here are three bets I like for tonight’s game as well as a bonus bet on this busy NHL slate.

Forsberg has hit his over in every game this season and has registered 15 shots in his last three games. which is an average of five per game. I like him to continue this trend against a Canucks team that ranks bottom five in shots against per game.

The Vancouver Canucks to score a power-play goal at -134. My $12.50 bet would return $21.87.

In a simple numbers game Vancouver ranks third in the NHL on the power-play while Nashville ranks 29th in the league on the penalty kill.

Quinn Hughes to register over 2.5 sh0ts at +130. My $10 bet would return $23.

Hughes has been the talk of the town so far this season excelling at both ends of the rink. Hughes is fresh off tying a career high six shots in Saturday’s game against the Panthers and has registered 14 shots in his last three games, which is an average of 4.6 per game.

We will risk .8 units here on his over 2.5.

Brady Tkachuk to register over 3.5 shots at -143. My $10 bet would return $17.

Just like most of the Senators, Tkachuk had a very quiet night in a 5-2 loss to the Red Wings. Aside from that one game, Tkachuk has been rolling this season, hitting his over in three straight games and tallying 16 shots in that span, which is an average of 5.33 per game. I’m rolling with him tonight at .8 units.

Elias Pettersson to register over 2.5 shots at -163. My $12.50 bet would return $20.19. – MISSED

Evan Rodrigues to register over 2.5 shots at -150. My $12.50 bet would return $20.83. – HIT

Carter Verhaeghee to register over 2.5 shots at -175. My $12.50 bet would return $19.64. – HIT

One Pettersson shot away from a perfect night. We staked $37.50 and returned $40.47, we are now up $32.13(2.5 units) on the year.
