Betway Bets of the Day — A two-unit play for Filip Forsberg

Welcome back to another edition of the Betway Bets of the Day!

The Bets of the Day are brought to you by NHL odds site Betway!

Our first bet of the day will be taking Alex Iafallo to take over 2.5 shots on goal. These odds sit at +100.

I love this spot tonight for Iafallo. Despite only hitting this prop in three of seven games this year, his shot volume is high. In the games this prop has cashed, he’s hit four shots twice, as well as the seven-shot mark.

The Jets have a great matchup tonight taking on the Montreal Canadiens, and Iafallo is skating on their top line alongside Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele. That line itself has the second best matchup on the evenings slate of games.

Our second bet of the day will be taking Filip Forsberg to take over 3.5 shots on goal. These odds sit at -125 and will be a two-unit play.

Much like Iafallo, Forsberg and his linemates on the Predators’ top line have a great matchup tonight. The fourth best on the slate, to be exact. Forsberg himself has the highest 5v5 shots on goal per hour rate on Nashville, and the third most of any player playing this evening.

Forsberg has cashed this prop in a staggering six of seven games this year, taking as many as six shots on goal.

Record: 15-13 (+0.94u, +3.03 ROI%)
Last 7: 3-5 (-3.58u, -39.78 ROI%)
