<p>The last time the Oilers played the Flyers, we were handed one of the most disappointing losses of the season. It wasn&#8217;t just that they lost the game, but the way they lost had to be as frustrating as we&#8217;ve seen in quite some time. If you don&#8217;t remember, the Oilers basically slept through <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/edmonton-oilers-not-close-to-good-enough">that 4-1 loss</a> and didn&#8217;t look at all like a team that was supposed to win much of anything. Here on January 2nd, however, Edmonton has really turned its season around, and I&#8217;m honestly expecting a much better result than we saw the first time around. That said, there are no gimmes in the National Hockey League and the boys will need to keep playing the way they have been if we have any chance of closing out a sixth straight win.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re following along at home, the odds I&#8217;m using for my game day betting articles all season come from <a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/grp/ice-hockey/north-america/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Betway</a>. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m putting down <a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/evt/12899123" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">against the Philadelphia Flyers.</a></p>
<h3><strong>Player Prop:</strong></h3>
<p>Leon Draisaitl to register 2+ points at +140. My $5 bet would return $12.00.</p>
<h3><strong>Easy Money:</strong></h3>
<p>Oilers to register 33+ shots on goal at -134. My $5 bet would return $8.75.</p>
<h3><strong>Risky Business:</strong></h3>
<p>Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both to score at +300. My $5 bet would return $20.00.</p>
<h3><strong>Can’t Miss Parlay:</strong></h3>
<p>Oilers moneyline win and over 5.5 total goals at +125. My $5 bet would return $11.25.</p>

<p>I couldn&#8217;t think of a better possible result than what we got <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/12/31/gdb-34-0-wrap-up-oilers-cruise-past-ducks-for-fifth-consecutive-win/">against the Ducks</a> on New Year&#8217;s Eve. Not only did the Oilers close out a 7-2 win, which was huge in itself, but I also won 3/4 of my bets and saw a hefty profit as a result. Great success!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I bet against the Ducks:</p>
<ul>
<li><del>Connor McDavid to register 3+ points at +175.</del></li>
<li>Over 61.5 total shots on goal at -118. ✅</li>
