Risky Business: Washingtone Down the Giveaways

The Oilers will be in tough tonight when they square off against the Washington Capitals, and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a bit nervous about where I’ll be putting my money. Does that mean I won’t be betting? Of course not, but I will absolutely be a bit more cautious with what I’m putting down. We be bettin’, fam!
LAST GAME
I’m not going to lie to you guys… I got absolutely dummied in my bets on Monday night because the Oilers couldn’t pull out a win and I am not happy about it. Personally, I’d like to blame Tyler Yaremchuk for making me feel overconfident because I went heavy on the Oilers and it did not work out well for me.

TONIGHT…
This game against the Capitals will be a huge test for the Oilers as they continue to battle back from what was a shocking December/January run, and they’ll need to come up with a better effort than we got against the Sens if they have any hopes of winning. So what does that mean for my bets? A much more cautious approach than I took against Ottawa, I’ll tell you that much.
Player Prop:
Leon Draisaitl over 2.5 shots at -200
Easy Money:
Over 1.5 goals at -143
Risky Business:
Jesse Puljujarvi to score at +260
Can’t Miss Parlay:
Calgary on the ML *spits*, LA on the ML for +134
And there you have it. Now that you know what I’m betting on — I threw one unit down on each bet btw — feel free to hit me up in the comments section to let me know what you’re looking at for tonight’s game.
