Dallas Stars vs. Edmonton Oilers
Wednesday, April 20, 2022 – 09:00 PM EDT at Rogers Place
Leon Draisaitl and Kailer Yamamoto
We are going a little out there with this first play on the Oilers but at +700 we are happy to have a ½ unit bet on the league’s second-highest goalscorer and the Oilers' second-highest to get on the scoreboard. We expect the Oilers to score 5 tonight and because of that, we are happy to take this play.

Yamamoto has been a player we previously cashed to score anytime at +375 and has failed to score in his previous 11 games, actually the last time he scored was when we had bet on him.
Previously to this 11-game drought, he had scored in 7 of 8 games, we are hoping he can rekindle that kind of form in this game against the Dallas Stars. The Oilers have averaged 3.4 goals per game so far this season.

Connor McDavid
Look, we know this is a very obvious pick, but McDavid has been very good to us, scoring over 1.5 points the previous two times we took him over and also scored a goal the last time we were on him to get on the scoreboard.
Tonight the Oilers will be at home where the league’s second-highest points scorer McDavid (only 1 point behind 1st) has gone 2 home games without a single point, which is the first time in 12 games on home ice he has failed to do so.
We expect the Dallas Stars to put up a good fight here but ultimately see the Oilers coming away with a 5-3 victory, we are more than happy to take McDavid at +110 to see over 1.5 points against this Stars team.

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Arizona Coyotes
Wednesday, April 20, 2022 – 10:00 PM EDT at Gila River Arena
Alex DeBrincat
24-year-old DeBrincat has seen the second most amount of shots on this Chicago Blackhawks team thus far this season and has seen an average of 3.1 shots per game across his last 10. We do like the fact the Blackhawks' opponents today are the Coyotes who have allowed the 2nd most amount of shots against in the entire NHL and are only 10 shots shy of having allowed the most.
Interestingly we are going against a trend in this NHL game as DeBrincat has only picked up 4 shots in 3 games against the Coyotes this season. Time to change that tonight.
NHL Prop Pick: DeBrincat Over 3.5 Shots (+100) with BetOnline
Washington Capitals vs. Vegas Golden Knights
Wednesday, April 20, 2022 – 10:00 PM EDT at T-Mobile Arena
Alex Ovechkin
Ovechkin has been on form lately scoring a goal in 15 of his previous 21 games, he also scored the previous two times we took him to get on the scoreboard. Currently, the 36-year-old has scored the 4th most amount of goals in the league, sitting at 48.
The Capitals have seen a lot of goals in their road games as of late, with a total of 7.1 goals scored across their last 10 road trips.

Of this 7.1 the Capitals have managed to score an average of 4.9 goals and against a very weakened Golden Knights team we expect the Capitals to put up similar sort of numbers. Ovechkin has scored in 50% of the Capitals' matches against the Golden Knights in the two-team history.
Washington comes into tonight’s game having had the 3rd best record in the NHL across the previous 5 games, compared to the Golden Knights' 11th best. The Capitals are still in a battle for 3rd place in the Metropolitan Division against the Pittsburgh Penguins and they will be eager to beat this Vegas team that has lost three of the previous five.
