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 a goal. These odds sit at -135.
We’re keeping this one simple. 49 goals in 53 games, and he has the chance to hit the 50-goal mark in Arizona. That seems like a pretty special thing to happen.
We’re going to stack this one with Matthew Knies to score 1+ point. These odds sit at +110.
Knies spoke earlier about how much Matthews means to Arizona, and how he’s “going to try to feed him the puck as much as possible” tonight. Let’s bet on him doing that.

Our third bet of the day will be taking Tage Thompson to take over 3.5 shots on goal. These odds sit at -118.
Another one worth keeping relatively simple. Thompson has cashed this prop in four of his last five games, 16 of his last 25, and six of 11 career games against the Montreal Canadiens. His 12.2 shots on goal per hour over his last 25 games are third amongst any forward playing tonight.
