Betway Bets of the Day — Back these props on the Toronto Maple Leafs

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 Auston Matthews to score 2+ points. These odds sit at +130.

Matthews continues to be one of the league’s most productive forwards with 29 goals and 44 points on the season, cashing this prop in 15 of 34 games this year. He’s also hit it in two of his last five games, historically dominating against Anaheim with 13 points in 11 games.

Tonight, he’s expected to lead the way against the Ducks with he and his linemates on Toronto’s top line having the best matchup on the slate.

Our second bet of the day will be taking John Tavares to score a goal. These odds sit at +140.

We’re sticking in that Toronto Anaheim game, and backing Tavares to score a goal. For as good of a matchup as the top line has, the Leafs’ second has one nearly as good. Tavares, too, is due for some positive scoring regression. He’s scored at a solid 1 goal per 60 minutes clip this season, but that’s still .8 goals per hour lower than expected.

Anaheim struggles defensively, and this is a great spot for him to tickle the twine.
