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

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

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.
