Golden Knights vs Oilers Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Oilers to pick up on a win over the Golden Knights at home. With the moneyline sitting at -128, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Oilers straight-up.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Golden Knights to cover. Even if the Oilers manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Golden Knights should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
