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 William Nylander to score 2+ point. These odds sit at -105.
Nylander’s been having a great season in Toronto, earning him a massive contract extension last month. He’s scored 3.9 points per hour over his last 20 games, but has cooled in his last 10 games with just seven points, cashing this prop three times. That being said, with an excellent matchup tonight, I like him getting on the scoresheet twice.

Our second bet of the day will be taking Nathan MacKinnon to score 2+ points. These odds sit at -105.
Sticking with the same prop here for MacKinnon, who has been red hot of late. He’s cashed this prop in four of his last five games, and over his last 25 games, has racked up 53 points with a stunning 5.4 points per hour. Look for him to lead the charge again for the Avalanche, as they take on the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden.
