Edmonton Oilers (+102) vs. Colorado Avalanche (-122) | O/U 6.5 (-130/+106)

The Oilers' offense has been on a roll as of late, scoring 16 goals in their last four games. Connor McDavid has the Hart trophy locked up with 20 more points than the next man, his teammate Leon Draisaitl.

Unfortunately, it has not resulted in wins, and they've dropped three of their last four.

On the flip side, the reigning champs are 10-1-2 in their last 14, scoring 3.50 goals per game.

They have great forwards on the top lines, with Nate McKinnon having five goals and five assists in his last ten, and Mikko Rantanen has three goals and four assists.

The Oilers and Avs are on opposite ends regarding over/under records. Edmonton has the third-most games go over the total, while Colorado has the second-fewest. I favor the over because of Edmonton’s stellar offense that they need to make up for the sub-par goaltending and Colorado's current offensive run.

Pick: Over 6.5 (-130)

Nashville Predators (+164) vs.Minnesota Wild (-200) | O/U 6.5 (-114/-106)

Everything went right for the Predators on Saturday - Without Filip Forsberg, they were able to tally seven goals against the Panthers and got the win with Kevin Lankinen in the crease.

They head north without Forsberg again but Juuse Saros between the pipes. Saros was the one star in the last game against the Wild by saving 31 of 32 shots.

At the beginning of the year, the Wild looked to compete for a top spot in the Western Conference. They've hit a rough patch recently going 7-11-1 and are now tied with Calgary for the last Wild Card spot.

Marc-Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson play every other game in the crease, so tonight it should be Fleury. The veteran has struggled recently, allowing 11 goals in his last three games.

It was these same two goalies that held these offenses to three goals. Even with Fleury’s recent troubles, I like a rebound game and a low score.

Pick: Under 6 (-106)

Winnipeg Jets (+112) vs.New Jersey Devils(-134) | O/U 6 (-122/+100)

The Devils are continuing to win and playing very well on both sides of the puck, and have the fifth-best Expected Goal Differential.

The great news is they have their points leader Jack Hughes back in the lineup after being sidelined with an injury.

The Jets are also well-balanced, with their top lines having guys like Kyle Connor, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Mark Scheifele as dependable goal scorers, but after that is a significant drop off with just two others having double-digit goals.

The question is, will Connor Hellebuyck be on the ice? Their star goalie has missed the last two games with an illness, but he is currently not listed on the injury report.

Hellebuyck puts them in a great spot to win, but David Rittich has been dependable behind the net allowing 2.49 goals per game.

New Jersey will have Mackenzie Blackwood between the pipes, and he's struggled recently with losses in three of his last four.

With that, I love Winnipeg grabbing a road win.

Pick: Jets ML (+112)
