The biggest Olympic beatdown could be in store on Sunday morning as the flawless Canadians wrap up their Group stage against one of the tournament's weakest teams.
Canada could hit double digits, and the AGS prices reflect that, but there are some good price points bettors shouldn't overlook.

Canada's Best Price: Mitch Marner (+230)
This anytime goal scorer pick has been BOOSTED BY BET99 — making it the best price available in Canada!
I was not a big fan of Mitch Marner during the Four Nations, but No. 93 has been looking great on a line with Sidney Crosby and Mark Stone and has played almost 17 minutes against the Swiss.
He is also all over the puck and might not be taking the draws, but is playing more like a center than a winger. His familiarity with Mark Stone is only helping his cause, and I wouldn't put it past him to pop a shorthanded goal against a bad French team that could give up 10 goals on Sunday.
We might have run him out of Toronto, but 'ol Mitchy is back in our good books with his play so far through two games.
Brandon Hagel (+300)
Brandon Hagel offers an appealing price for a player who spent most of his shifts with Nathan MacKinnon before Jon Cooper formed the Canadian “Avengers” line. Nick Suzuki might see a reduction in ice time, while Hagel could be paired with a winger he’s more comfortable with.
Considering there are five players listed at +140 or shorter, backing a guy who saw nearly 17 minutes in the last game at +300 is a strong option, especially compared to the higher-priced stars.
Thomas Harley (+550)
Game 3’s long shot goes back to the blue line and to the only Canadian defenseman with a goal so far in the tournament: Thomas Harley. He’s seeing solid minutes — over 18 per game — and already has three shots on goal with a goal against the Swiss.
With bottom lines likely seeing more ice time in this matchup, betting on a blueliner makes sense since their minutes are more consistent. Only three other Canadians carry longer odds of scoring, but none have the offensive role and upside Harley has right now.
There may be a few +400 or higher options from the Canucks, but at this price, Harley is my favorite long shot.
