💰 Germany vs. Denmark best bet: Germany -1.5 (-105)
We've got a pair of solid NHL goalies on both sides here, with Philip Grubauer going for Germany and Frederik Andersen in net for Denmark, but the German offensive firepower gets the edge for me, and as a result, we're rocking with them on the puck line.
The Germans are deep up the middle and could have a potent power-play unit, which is filled with NHLers. Tim Stutzle, Draisaitl, Moritz Seider, and JJ Peterka anchor the man advantage, and should be able to cash if given the opportunity.
Score prediction: Germany 4, Denmark 1
🏆️ Germany vs. Denmark line movement
This line has flipped from +105 to -105, meaning we're seeing some money on Germany come in, but I'd still play this number up to -110.
🔥 Best Germany vs. Denmark prop bet: Leon Draisaitl anytime goal scorer (+100)
The captain. The highest-scoring German player in NHL history - we need you to score a goal for us today against Denmark. Draisaitl will undoubtedly log the most minutes on this German team, and will likely be taking double shifts in a close game come the third period.
With puck-moving defenseman Seider quarterbacking the power-play unit, I'm expecting Draisaitl to get fed from the faceoff dot and pot one today. Let's ride him as part of our best Germany vs. Denmark predictions.
