Canada vs. France - Prop Bets (10:40 AM, EST)

Canada’s offense have been in a tier of their own, fielding a star studded group of playmakers who generate Expected Goals at a very high rate. Heading into Sunday’s matchup against France, Canada’s front line is in a position to thrive by taking advantage of a defense who struggles to defend their net.

Canada Puck Line -5.5 (-175) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Canada’s stars showed out on Friday as Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Sidney Crosby all scored a goal in their 5-1 win over Switzerland. Their offense has been near unstoppable throughout group play, using their versatility to help create high quality Shots on Goal at a blistering fast rate.

As the current puck line implies, France is in for a long night as their back line lacks the physicality that is needed to slow down Canada’s relentless attack which will force their goaltender to constantly scramble across the crease for the full duration of the contest. With no hope of containing Canada’s front line, expect the Canadiens to set a scoring pace too fast for France to keep up with and cover the puck line.

USA vs. Germany - Prop Bets (3:10 PM, EST)

After sleepwalking through the first two periods, USA’s back line was able to wake up and hold Denmark scoreless for the last 20 minutes of the game. In Sunday’s matchup against Germany, expect USA to build on their momentum as they face off against a front line who lacks the playmaking that is needed to stretch out their coverage.

Germany Team Total Under 2 (-185) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even though USA managed to win 6-3, their performance was certainly alarming as their back line struggled to slow down Denmark’s offense for a majority of the contest. A stunning display from team USA who is expected to rival Canada in regard to the talent that is on the ice.

Fortunately for the Americans, their defense will have a great opportunity to round back into form against Germany by shading a wing towards Leon Draisaitl while their help side defenders face guard his underwhelming supporting cast. With Draisaitl out of the equation, Jake Oettinger will be able to anchor down in USA’s net which will drastically lessen the width of Germany’s shooting lanes.

Brady Tkachuk Anytime Goal Scorer (+175) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the regular season, Brady Tkachuk has been able to pressure the net at a high rate as the Ottawa Senators forward is averaging 0.50 Expected Goals and nearly 4.00 Shots on Goal per game. With Jack Eichel pulling defensive attention away from him, Tkachuk will be able to generate higher quality shot attempts in front of the crease which increases his chances of scoring.
