By Zach Laing

We’re getting creative tonight and backing the Edmonton Oilers power play to bounce back in a big way. We’re going to make three separate half-unit bets on members of the Oilers power play to score a point.
Our first bet of the day is on Connor McDavid to score 1+ power play point, with odds sitting at +100.
Our second bet of the day is on Leon Draisaitl to score 1+ power play point, with odds sitting at +135.
Our third bet of the day is on Evan Bouchard to score 1+ power play point, with odds sitting at +162.
These three players have a power play scoring tree, often combining on the man advantage. The Oilers are in an 0-for-17 stretch right now, but their power play at home (34.1 percent, 1st) is miles better than their power play on the road (18.2 percent, 21st). While Washington may have a strong penalty kill unit, this Oilers group knows how to make the most of their opportunities.
Our fourth bet of the day is on Kevin Fiala to score 1+ power play point, with odds sitting at +225. This will also be for half a unit.
Four bets, all half units, all on the power play. Let’s see what damage we can do.
Fiala leads the Kings in power play points with 24 in 64 games this season, while the Kings have the fifth best road power play, operating at a 25.8 percent clip. The Blues’ home penalty kill, meanwhile, is 21st in the league at 77.9 percent.
Record: 90-105 (-8.37u)
