Best Bet: Oilers Puck Line -1.5 (-152)
The first three matchups in the season series saw seven, eight, and six goals scored. The total for tonight is set at 7.5, with the over priced at +132, while the under sits at -162. Edmonton is the highest-scoring offense in the NHL, while the Ducks sit in the basement in goals allowed per game. Over the Oilers’ last five games, they’ve seen seven or more goals scored in just two, while the Ducks have also seen that in two. Edmonton should have no issue scoring in this game, making for a compelling case to back the over 7.5 at +132.
Best Bet: Over 7.5 (+132)
The Oilers have a lot of offense between their pair of superstar forwards. It’s easy to side with one of the Oilers’ top forwards to score, but the value isn’t there tonight. As a result, we’re looking toward Evander Kane, who’s tallied 27 points in 37 games. With the playoffs right around the corner, Kane getting going is essential, and this is an excellent matchup for him to do so. Take Kane to score at +130.
Best Prop: Evander Kane to Record Over 0.5 Goals (+130)
