Risky Business is brought to you by NHL betting site Betway!
After a wild win last night in Chicago, I have no idea how much gas the Oilers will have left in the tank but I’m hopeful they’ll be able to put together a full 60 minutes against a Wild team that will punish them if they don’t. I don’t know what it is about the Minnesota Wild but they’re a team that the Oilers always seem to struggle with, and when it comes to betting on tonight’s game I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t taking past heartache into account. Needless to say, I’m not going too heavy on any reach picks against Minnesota.
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 Wild:
Player Prop:
Zach Hyman over 3.5 shots at +100. My $5 bet would return $10.00.
Easy Money:
Over 1.5 total power play goals at -110. My $5 bet would return $9.54.
Risky Business:
Kirill Kaprizov and Leon Draisaitl both to score at +300. My $5 bet would return $20.00.
Can’t Miss Parlay:
Colorado over Buffalo on ML, New Jersey over Nashville on ML, and Dallas over Anaheim on ML at 3.09. My $5 bet would return $15.45.

It may not have been the prettiest win you will ever see in your life, but it was beautiful to me. Not only that, I went 3/4 on my bets and I desperately needed a winning night like this.
- Zach Hyman over 3.5 shots at +100. ✅
First period result for Edmonton at +120.- Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to both score at +275. ✅
- Edmonton over Chicago on the ML and Toronto over San Jose on the ML at +100. ✅
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 Wild.
