Connor McDavid Over 0.5 goals (+105)

Edmonton has since dropped their last 2 games by a combined score of 12-5. The Islanders have scored 4.2 goals per game in their last 10 games and have allowed 5 goals in each of their last 2 games. They also have the league's 6th worst goal prevention. Connor McDavid and the Oilers have a good chance to break out of this short losing streak with a big performance.
Connor McDavid has been producing like crazy to the tune of 31 points in his last 15 games. The Oilers have catapulted into playoff contention after a brutal start to the year and to no surprise, it has coincided with McDavid's current rampant production. McDavid gets plus money to score in a favorable matchup. In what looks to be a high-scoring game, look no further than McDavid to be right in the mix.
