PointsBet Daily Bets: Mikael Backlund shot prop & Predators/Capitals

Tyler Yaremchuk joined Frank Seravalli and Matt Larkin on Friday’s edition of Daily Faceoff Live for another PointsBet Daily Bets segment. 

Six games on the slate tonight. Yaremchuk provides you with all your betting and odds needs for tonight’s matchups, including the Calgary Flames vs New York Islanders and the Nashville Predators taking on Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. 

Tyler Yaremchuk: Let’s jump right into it courtesy of our friends at PointsBet Canada. It’s an interesting slate tonight but we will get right into it. I like the New York Islanders vs. Calgary Flames. The Islanders are on the second of back-to-backs here. So I actually am going to go with a shot prop here. Mikael Backlund, the line is set at 2.5 and it’s paying out -110. Let me read out to you how many shots he has put up in recent games; 8,5,2,4,4,3,6. He’s been hitting it a lot and smashing it in a few of those. So I love taking Backlund on the shot prop. 

In the Nashville Predators and Washington Capitals matchup, I am hammering over 6 goals. Both these teams have been hitting the over a ton recently, four in a row for each of them and they’re each playing on back-to-backs. We saw how many shots the Predators gave up yesterday, they don’t look good defensively right now. No Darcy Kuemper or Juuse Saros is expected to start since they are in second of back-to-backs, so I think we will see this total go well over 6 goals. So tonight Frank, I got the Backlund shot prop and the over in Nashville vs. Washington.
