Edmonton Oilers plus-150 at Washington Capitals: $400 to win $600
Tonight the Edmonton Oilers head to Washington D.C. in a marquee matchup with the Capitals.
Both teams have started the season with play well below the lofty expectations entering the year. The Oilers find themselves in seventh place in the Pacific Division, ahead of only the lowly Arizona Coyotes. Star player Connor McDavid has had his share of highlight assists, but his seven goals has been a disappointment to this point.
The Capitals have already lost seven games in regulation after losing only 19 during last season’s President’s Trophy-winning campaign. Washington seems to be finding its stride though, winning four of its last five including a convincing 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.
That win is why I like the Oilers as sizable underdogs tonight. The plus-150 is the highest underdog Edmonton has been this season. The previous high was plus-130 when they played in Pittsburgh on Oct. 24.
It could be a let down for the Capitals, and getting plus-150 with a team as talented as Edmonton is always good value, even if they’re struggling at the moment.
Current Standings: Granger (9-8, $12,075), Brewer (14-12, $10,070), Keefer (12-12-1, $9,641), Grimala (6-7, $8,555)
