Oilers vs Islanders Same Game Parlay: Draisaitl, Schaefer and the Under

The Edmonton Oilers visit UBS Arena on Saturday afternoon to face the New York Islanders in a Halloween matinee, with puck drop set for 2:00 PM ET. Edmonton arrives at 9-2-2 and has won five straight on the road, while the Islanders sit at 7-4-2 and have taken two in a row. The market has a clear favorite, but the numbers underneath it tell a more specific story: the league’s best power play running into a team that rarely gives up goals, with Ilya Sorokin in the opposite crease.

Here is the same game parlay built around that tension: Oilers moneyline, Leon Draisaitl to score anytime, Matthew Schaefer to score anytime, and the game total staying Under 6.5. Prices below come from DraftKings and Covers at the time of writing and will move before puck drop.

Leg 1: Oilers Moneyline (-135)

DraftKings has Edmonton at -135 and New York at +114, with the total at 6.5. That price implies roughly a 57 percent chance for the Oilers, which feels about right for a team that has won seven of its last ten and is averaging 3.8 goals per game over that stretch. Over the full season, Edmonton is scoring 4.23 goals per game, the kind of offense that can beat almost any goalie on a given night.

The caution is defense. The Oilers rank 18th in goals against, and the Islanders have beaten them in the last two meetings, 4-2 at UBS Arena and 1-0 in Edmonton. That is why this leg is the anchor rather than the headline. If you want to shop for a better number on the same side, the DraftKings Promo Code page lays out the current new-user offer.

Leg 2: Leon Draisaitl Anytime Goal (+115)

Draisaitl is the most efficient way into the Edmonton offense in this matchup. He has 12 goals and 12 assists on the season, tied for second in the NHL with 24 points, and he leads the league with six power-play goals. Over the last ten games he has nine goals and ten assists, so the goal-scoring is not a small-sample blip.

The special-teams matchup is what makes this more than a name-brand pick. Edmonton owns the NHL’s top power play at 35.7 percent, and the Islanders have been averaging 4.1 penalties per game over their last ten. Even against a penalty kill that has been strong lately, volume of opportunities matters. Covers lists Draisaitl at +115 to score at least once, a near coin-flip priced as a modest plus-money bet.

Leg 3: Matthew Schaefer Anytime Goal (+350)

To avoid stacking only Edmonton props, this parlay includes the Islanders’ best young scorer. Schaefer had two goals and an assist in Thursday’s 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota, including the winner 33 seconds into the extra period, and he has four goals and eight assists over his last ten games, the most points on the team in that span.

Covers shows Schaefer at +350 to score, a long price for a player who is currently the Islanders’ top point producer. The correlation works with the other legs as well: a single Islanders goal fits comfortably inside an Oilers win and a total that stays low, and it is the most plausible way New York scores against an Edmonton defense that ranks 18th in goals against.

Leg 4: Under 6.5 Total Goals

The total sits at 6.5 at DraftKings and FanDuel, with a few books at 6. The Islanders rank fifth in goal prevention and are averaging only three goals per game over their last ten, while Sorokin is expected to start against Tristan Jarry, who made 24 saves in a 4-0 shutout of Calgary in his last outing.

Reaching seven combined goals requires Edmonton to do most of the work against one of the league’s better defensive teams. A 4-2 Oilers win is still only six. One public projection set the median total at 6.3, which leans toward the Under. This is the leg most at risk from Edmonton’s power play, so treat it as the contrarian piece of the card.

The Full Parlay

Put it together: Oilers moneyline (-135), Draisaitl anytime goal (+115), Schaefer anytime goal (+350), and Under 6.5. Sportsbooks adjust same game parlay pricing for correlation, so the combined odds on your slip will differ from simply multiplying the four prices. Confirm the final number in your app before betting, and use the odds and probability calculator to see what that price implies.

The case is simple. Edmonton is the better team on paper, its power play is the best in the league, and Draisaitl is the main beneficiary. Schaefer gives the parlay a New York goal that does not threaten the result, and the Under reflects a matchup against a top-five defensive team. If Draisaitl and Schaefer both land and the game stays at six goals or fewer, this ticket cashes. Bet responsibly, and only what you can afford to lose.
