The Oilers had two scores taken off the board, clanked a goal post on a shot that had Kings goalie Jonathan Quick beaten cleanly, and they still won the game. I’m guessing that many of you already know what the easy decision is for this evening as a followup play. But I’m also adding a little sweetener to try and get a bigger payoff.
3 KINGS at 4 FLAMES
Take: FLAMES -135 (one unit)
Take: FLAMES -1.5 +230 (half unit)
Edmonton was in position to clinch a playoff spot at home against the Kings on Tuesday night and did exactly that with a 2-1 win that really wasn’t as close as the score indicated.
Now the very next night and the Kings are again on the road against a team that can clinch its playoff spot. This time it’s Calgary.
I know the Kings are still talking the talk, but it seems pretty hollow at this point. If you watched the third period last night, LA was really dragging and I think it only gets worse tonight.
The Flames are very fired up to celebrate at home and I think Calgary has a legit shot to bury the Kings tonight. LA has lost five straight when playing with no rest and I really do believe they’re a mentally defeated team at this juncture.
I’m going to play Calgary for one unit on the money line, and I will also gamble an additional half unit on the big payoff by spotting the -1.5 at a very healthy +230 return.
