Risky Business: Leon Draisaitl, President and CEO of the Nashville Predators

Risky Business is brought to you by NHL Lines site Betway!

Even though the Oilers played last night against Minnesota and deservedly lost the match, I truly believe that we’re in for a bounce-back effort against the Nashville Predators. I don’t know what it is about the Preds, but the Oilers have owned them lately and I’m hoping that run of success will continue here tonight. Not only that, Leon Draisaitl has been an absolute warlord against Nashville over the past few years, and I’m expecting him to use his status as President and CEO of the organization to come up with another clutch performance. At least, that’s what I’m betting on anyway.

If you’re following along at home, the odds I’ll be using for my game day betting articles all season come from Betway. Here’s what I’m putting down against the Predators:

Leon Draisaitl to score 1+ goal and 1+ assist at +200. My $5 bet would return $15.00.

Over 1.5 total power play goals at -143. My $5 bet would return $8.50.

Leon Draisaitl to score 3+ points at +300. My $5 bet would return $20.00.

Colorado over Philly on the moneyline, Toronto over Anaheim on the moneyline, and Boston over NYI on the moneyline at 2.42. My $5 bet would return $12.13.

I went kinda light on my bets from yesterday and I’m glad I did as the Oilers basically looked about as uninterested in competing as they possibly could have been. So the fact that I came out even after a game like that is almost a miracle and a credit to my intuition. No need for applause, though.

And there you have it, friends. Now that you know what I’m betting on — I’ll be throwing one unit down on each bet, for the record — feel free to hit me up in the comments section to let me know what you’re looking at against the Predators.
