Betting Tip
It is not easy to place a bet against the best team in the league but it seems like this is that game of the season. The Avalanche are on top of the league with a 10-points advantage over the next one in line meaning that they will stay untouched even if they lose.
The Oilers also have nowhere higher to go as they are fifth in the conference with a 9-point deficit to the St. Louis Blues. What makes the Oilers the right choice in this game is the fact that they do not want to fall to sixth place in the conference and want to prove a point against the Avalanche who they will probably face in the second playoff round.
Colorado has lost the last two games and has six players on the injury list including their top scorer. With that being the case, placing a bet on the Oilers is the right choice.
