Risky Business: Fighting Shorthanded

After three days off, the Edmonton Oilers are back in action against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, which means we’ve got another round of bets to put down. How will we fare against a Penguins team that is currently on the outside looking in? We shall see. We be bettin’, fam!

I’m not going to lie to you guys, I was pretty nervous about how the game against Vegas was going to go, but the Oilers came through with a huge win and that makes me hopeful for a repeat performance tonight against the Pens. But before we get to that, let’s check in on how I did against the Golden Knights.

First period over 1.5 total goals at -147 ✅

Back in October, the Pittsburgh Penguins were playing shorthanded with some of their key pieces out with injury and they found a way to get through it, which is exactly what the Oilers are having to do right now with more than half of their regular defencemen on the shelf. What does that mean in terms of throwing down bets? Well, your boy is going to be a little bit more conservative with the shekels I’m putting down.

Jesse Puljujarvi over 2.5 points at +110

First period over 1.5 goals at -141

Connor McDavid over 1.5 goals at +400

Vegas on ML, NYR on ML, and Leon Draisaitl over 0.5 points at +205
