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 Connor McDavid to take over 3.5 shots on goal. These odds sit at -138.
The Oilers play host to the Detroit Red Wings tonight, and they’re a team that has given up the fifth-most shots against per hour at 5v5 over the last 25 games. McDavid, meanwhile, has cashed this prop in 12 of his last 25, and in four of his last five games. Coming out of a three-game stretch where the Oilers struggled against the Vegas Golden Knights, Anaheim Ducks and LA Kings, look for McDavid to lead the charge tonight.

Our second bet of the day will be taking John Tavares to take over 3.5 shots. These odds sit at -134.
Another player we’re looking to lead the charge tonight is John Tavares, who has cashed this prop in 13 of his last 25, and in four of his last five, as well. The Maple Leafs take on the St. Louis Blues tonight, and much like McDavid and his linemates, Tavares and his have an excellent matchup tonight.
