Welcome back to another edition of the Betway Bets of the Day. All bets are for one unit unless otherwise noted.
Our lone bet of the day will be taking Viktor Arvidsson and Mikael Backlund to score 1+ points. These odds sit at +177.
Both players come into tonight’s matchups with some strong offensive production as of late. Arvidsson has scored seven goals and 10 points in his last 10 games, while Backlund has scored a goal and eight points over that same time. Both of them and their lines have among the best matchups on the slate tonight.
The Kings are jockeying for position n the Pacific Division trying to fight for home-ice advantage, while the Flames are fighting for their playoff lives. Tonight has the potential to be an elimination game for them.
I expect both players to have solid showings for their teams tonight.
