Betway Bets of the Day: Bet on the Canucks against the struggling Oilers

Welcome back to Betway Bets of the Day brought to you by NHL betting odds site Betway!
After a 10-1 win against the lowly San Jose Sharks, Vancouver had a tough test with the 7-1-1 Dallas Stars coming to town. As you know by now, the Canucks passed with flying colours, shutting out Dallas 2-0. This is the team’s third straight win and seventh straight game where they have collected at least a point.
Next up for Vancouver is the struggling Edmonton Oilers, who the Canucks can potentially break tonight with a win. Here are three bets I like for tonight’s game.
Player Prop
Get in on this bet while you can. It seems like these are the last few games where Hughes’s shot line is going to be at 2.5 with these massive odds shifts. Hughes has hit his over 2.5 in eight of his last nine games, including a six shot outing on Saturday against the Stars.
Player Prop
Leon Draisaitl to register over 2.5 shots at -163. My $12.50 bet would return $20.19.
In as close to a must-win game as you can have in game eleven of a season, I expect Draisaitl to come out firing. He has also been reunited with McDavid at even strength. Draisaitl has hit his over 2.5 in three of his last four games and had seven shots against Vancouver in their last matchup.
Money-Line
Bet on the Canucks to win money-line at -110. My $10 bet would return $19.09.
This game is at pick ’em odds, which to me, is absolutely insane. Vancouver is 8-2-1 at home against the 2-7-1 Edmonton Oilers. These two teams have already met twice this season, with Vancouver winning both matchups at a combined score of 12-4. I expect Edmonton to be desperate tonight, but Vancouver is playing some great hockey, and we are riding with them to win outright.
Put .8 units on this bet.
Last Game Bets
Quinn Hughes to register over 2.5 shots at -138. My $12.50 bet would return $21.58. – HIT
Roope Hintz to register over 2.5 shots at -125. My $12.50 bet would return $22.50. – MISSED
Vancouver to score a power-play goal at -110. My $10 bet would return $19.09. – MISSED
A Canucks power-play post away from another nice night of profit, we staked $35 and returned $21.58. We are now up $112.91 (9.1 units) on the year.
