Lightning vs Canucks prediction

Lightning vs Canucks best bet: Liam Ohgren Over 1.5 shots (+100)

Winger Liam Ohgren has been a rare bright spot for the Vancouver Canucks, rankingsecond in shots and third in attempts at 5-on-5 across the past 12 games.

Ohgren and the Canucks are drawing the Tampa Bay Lightning at the right time, too.

The Lightning have lost seven of their past 10 while allowing the fourth-most shots per game (30.1) and ninth-most shots per 60 minutes at 5-on-5.

Lightning vs Canucks same-game parlay

This is a slump-busting spot for Tampa Bay, and I fully expect them to have a solid defensive showing, with Vancouver scoring just 2.6 goals per game since the Olympic break.

Simply put, I don’t anticipate the Canucks doing enough offensively to push this total Over.

The final leg of this same-game parlay turns for Vancouver center Elias Pettersson, as he's registered two or more shots in six of his past seven games for 16 total on 31 attempts.
