Oilers vs Golden Knights Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Golden Knights to take down the Oilers at home. With the moneyline currently at -127, I’m placing my bet on the Golden Knights straight-up.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Oilers to cover. Even if the Golden Knights secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Oilers should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
