Online sports betting had the Edmonton Oilers finally winning a game on Monday as they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2. The win snapped a 13-game offshore sports betting losing streak for the Oilers. Online sports betting had the Oilers just one loss short of tying the franchise record for a winless streak at 14 games. Marc Pouliot and Jean-Francois Jacques had a goal and an assist as the Oilers got the online sports betting win. Sam Gagner and Gilbert Brule also scored for the Oilers. “It’s obviously a great feeling,” Gagner said. “You never want to be in that situation. But it was great to have fun again. It’s only one win. Hopefully it gives us some confidence.”
Edmonton has been an online sports betting disaster. They have only two wins in their last 22 games. They are in last place in the NHL, five points behind Carolina and Toronto. The Oilers had not won in offshore sports betting since December 30th so it was a big monkey off their back. “It hasn’t been easy, and it was certainly not something I expected to happen to this hockey team,” Oilers coach Pat Quinn said. “We’ve had some rough spots in a lot of these games and haven’t held up. We had a couple of rough stretches again tonight but we bent and came back. We had a pretty good outing. It’s something we have to keep building on.” Edmonton was still the first NHL team in 12 years to go an entire calendar month without getting a win. They were 0-10-2 in January.
Edmonton is 17-31-6 this online sports betting season. They have really not done much of anything either at home or on the road in offshore sports betting. Despite the fact the Oilers are terrible; the fans gave the team a nice reception after Monday’s win. “After all this, Edmonton fans are really something,” Quinn said, “The reception that the players got after a month of frustration was just awesome. That is one of the good feelings.”
Edmonton is 22nd in the league in goals scored and 29th in fewest goals allowed. They have been offshore sports betting underdogs in almost every game this season and for good reason. Even at home they are getting big prices in online sports betting. Against a .500 Philadelphia team they are nearly 2-1 underdogs in online sports betting on home ice.
