Sharks vs Canucks best bet: Elias Pettersson Over 0.5 assists (+140)

Elias Pettersson may not be putting up the huge numbers he has in the past, but the Swede is still one of the Vancouver Canucks’ better players. He's compiled 18 helpers this season, cashing the Over in assists in back-to-back appearances. 

The 27-year-old set up a goal in a loss to the New Jersey Devils on Friday evening, and he registered another helper on Sunday in another defeat to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pettersson is playing with more confidence right now, and he’ll play his part in helping Vancouver keep this contest competitive against the San Jose Sharks.
