Welcome back to Betway Bets of the Day brought to you by NHL betting odds site Betway!
After three days off, hockey is officially back from Christmas break, although Canucks fans will have to wait another night to watch their league-leading team. A loaded 14 game NHL slate tonight should ease the pain.
For all us sports bettors, the schedule makers have given us a doozie in an all-Florida matchup between the high-octane Tampa Bay Lightning and the high-event Florida Panthers. This matchup never disappoints, and will be an integral part of today’s Betway Bets of the Day.
Player Prop
After the best season of his career in 2022/2023 where he scored 40 goals and 109 points, Tkachuk has struggled this season, scoring only five goals and 24 points in 33 games (a 12 goal, 59 point pace) and hasn’t scored in six straight games. I think this matchup with Tampa is the perfect spot for him to bump his slump.
Tkachuk has scored two goals and six points in his only two games against Tampa in 2023, take this play at .8 units for a very nice payout.
Player Prop
Jack Eichel to register over 3.5 shots at -143. My $12.50 bet would return $21.25.
Eichel is enjoying himself a very solid season, right on pace to eclipse his career high in points. Eichel has also been potent on the shot meter of late, hitting his over 3.5 in four of his last five games and has registered 12 shots in two games against the Anaheim team he’s playing tonight.
I like this play a lot and will hammer a full unit down on it.
Player Prop
Trevor Moore to register over 3.5 shots at +120. My $10 bet would return $22.
Going with another plus money play here, Moore has hit his over 3.5 in four of his last five games and has tallied 27 shots in that span, an average of 5.4 per game. This is another great spot, as Moore will be facing-off against the San Jose Sharks who give up the most shots in the NHL.
Take this play at .8 units.
Last Game Bets
Alperen Sengun to register over 4.5 assists at -120. My $10 bet would return $18.33. – HIT
Bojan Bogdanovic to register over 2.5 three pointers made at -125. My $10 bet would return $18. – HIT
Kawhi Leonard to register under 26.5 points at -105. My $10 bet would return $19.52. – VOIDED
Kawhi ended up not playing so his bet got voided, we staked $20 and returned $36.33. We are now up $157.21(12.5 units) on the year.
