Can the Oilers make it 15 games in a row with a win? The Chicago Blackhawks will do their best to stop it. Although, wouldn't a loss be exactly what the Hawks tank requires?
With that in mind, I'm sure Edmonton's streak continues and so I've built an NHL single-game parlay around it.
Same-Game Parlay: Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers
| Pick | Odds |
| Oilers ML | -535 |
| McDavid Anytime Goal | -125 |
| Bouchard U2.5 SOG | -125 |
| Total | +258 |
Same-Game Parlay Pick #1: Oilers ML
Again, 14 teams have tried to beat the Oilers recently and all have failed. And with the hapless Blackhawks coming to town, there's little reason to think Edmonton won't turn that run into 15 games.
When a -300 favorite or lower the Oilers are 4-1SU. Their only loss came at the hands of the Sharks when Jay Woodcroft was still in charge. Edmonton has defeated the Hawks twice in those five games, once as -500 favs and then as -435 favs.
Same-Game Parlay Pick #2: Connor McDavid Anytime Goal
McDavid hasn't been scoring as much as we're used to. His 17 goals and 12.9% shooting percentage are way down from last year.
But McJesus is hitting the net enough to have more than a single goal. In his last six games, he's put 25 shots on net for 2.28 ixG. Davo has made a career of outperforming his expected goals with a career 238.87ixG and 303 goals.
He's due to return to this type of production. That starts tonight against a baaaaad Chicago team.
Same-Game Parlay Pick #3: Evan Bouchard U2.5 SOG
The Blackhawks have done a great job lately at keeping the shot count low. Since the turn of the New Year, Chicago has allowed an average of 29.9 shots per game. That low shot count is specifically true when it comes to blueliners.
Of the 359 shots Chicago has allowed since Jan 1, 26% have come from defensemen. I get that Bouchard shoots a lot but of late he's hit UNDER 2.5 SOG seven times in his last 10 games.
Over the season he's hit O2.5 SOG 47%. Against the Hawks, he's 38%.
