Betway Bets of the Day — Backing Ryan Nugent-Hopkins score in Game 4
By Zach Laing
2 months agoWelcome 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 is on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to be an anytime goal scorer, with odds at +240.
When I was getting ready for Game 3 Sunday night, my “Keep Nuge Forever” shirt was calling my name. It felt like an omen that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins would get on the board, and while it didn’t happen, I love the spot for him to score even more tonight. He’s bumped up to the Oilers’ top line tonight, and that should help him be in some better spots to score.
In addition, of Nugent-Hopkins’ 11 goals at 5v5 this season, Connor McDavid had 11 assists, and Zach Hyman had four assists, highlighting how well they all click together.
Let’s add Nugent-Hopkins to take over 2.5 shots on goal, with odds at +135. He’s only hit this in one of eight games this postseason. He’s due.
Our third bet of the day is on over 1.5 power play goals between the Oilers and Canucks, with odds at -115.
This prop has cashed in two of three games so far this series, and in four of the Oilers’ eight games. The Oilers themselves are always live to cash this one, and the Canucks have gone 3-for-9 against Edmonton, so they’re live to add a marker or two there, as well.
Record: 134-159 (-12.98u)
