Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview
Golden Knights Looking to Halt 2-Game Losing Streak
Vegas is likely to make the playoffs, but they haven’t done themselves any favors in their last two NHL scores. The Golden Knights lost 4-3 to the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and have now lost consecutive games. They’re 15th in NHL stats for goals per game (3.21) and 12th in goals against (2.96).
Vegas is 38-39 against the spread (ATS), including 19-21 on the road. Their over-under record in NHL picks on the road is 23-17. Jonathan Marchessault leads the Golden Knights in NHL player stats with 67 points (41 goals, 26 assists) and Jack Eichel is second with 63 points (29 goals, 34 assists).Mark Stone and Tomas Hertl are still on the NHL injury report for the Golden Knights.
Oilers Hoping for Third Consecutive Victory
Edmonton is five points behind the Vancouver Canucks for first in the Pacific Division and has two games in hand. A win against the Golden Knights coupled with a Canucks loss on Wednesday against the Arizona Coyotes would put them in a good position to potentially reach the top of the division.
The Oilers have won two consecutive NHL games and will be highly motivated to beat a Golden Knights team that beat them in six games in the NHL playoffs last year. For the Oilers betting trends in the regular season, Edmonton is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games against the Golden Knights. Connor McDavid leads the Oilers in NHL player stats with 130 points (31 goals, 99 assists) in 74 games, but is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and unlikely to play tonight, which affects the Golden Knights vs Oilers odds.
Leon Draisailt is second on the Edmonton Oilers in scoring with 102 points (40 goals, 62 assists) and Evan Bouchard is third with a career-best 79 points (17 goals, 62 assists).
Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers Betting Picks
Edmonton has its eyes on first place in the division and should be highly motivated for tonight’s game. The Oilers have lost just eight games on home ice all season and are 21-16 ATS at Rogers Place. Their over-under record at home is 18-18-1 and, with the way Skinner has been playing as of late, the under is a good betting option for the Golden Knights vs Oilers odds.
- Pick 1: Oilers -118
- Pick 2: Under 6.5 (-110)
