NHL Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Oilers vs. Predators
Oilers (-134) vs. Predators (+112) | o/u 6.5 (-126/+106)
The Oilers are coming into today with back-to-back losses, one of which was a massive upset to the Ducks. The offense is phenomenal, with Connor McDavid looking like a Hart Trophy candidate, but the goaltending continues to struggle. The defense played well, allowing just 17 shots last game compared to their 49, but Stuart Skinner allowed four goals.
The Predators are coming into today in worse shape after losing six straight. The Goalkeeping has been incredible with how many shots they give up per game and Juuse Saros is ninth in goals saved above expected (MIN 15 games). They aren't doing anything in their opponent’s zone, with the second-fewest goals this season.
Edmonton has recently dominated this series, winning nine of the last ten. Their ability to move the puck in the offensive zone and the overall quickness of their skater will have them scoring, and the goaltending inabilities shouldn't be as big of a factor against the Nashville offense.
Pick: Oilers ML
