Betway Bets of the Day — Backing McDrai against the Jets

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!

A brutal night last night, dropping three units in thanks to the LA Kings’ struggles. Let’s rebound tonight.

Our first bet of the day will be taking Leon Draisaitl to score a goal. These odds sit at +130.

Leon Draisaitl loves to play the Winnipeg Jets. Across his career, he’s scored 22 goals against them in 31 games, with 41 total points, too. 19 of those goals, however, have been against Connor Hellebuyck, who is slated to start tonight for the Jets.

Draisaitl has scored nine goals through 21 games so far this season, and while he has three in his last three games, it still hasn’t seemed like he’s found his stride. Maybe tonight’s the night he starts to get on a roll.

Count me in on this one.

Our second bet of the day will be taking Connor McDavid to score 2+ points. These odds sit at +105.

McDavid has 12 points in his last three games. Still not convinced?

McDavid has 53 points in 30 career games against the Winnipeg Jets, cashing this prop in 19 of those. There. That should do it.
