Oilers vs Ducks Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Ducks to defeat the Oilers while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +229, I’m placing a wager on the Ducks to win outright.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Ducks winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Ducks straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
