Oilers at Lightning picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 5, Lightning 3

Moneyline

BET OILERS (+133).

With no NBA games Tuesday due to Election Day, the NHL will get more attention from North American sports fans and the Oilers will have extra motivation to snap their losing streak on TNT. Campbell played well vs. the Lightning last season and McDavid seemed to have no problem scoring vs. Vasilevskiy. Bet on the Oilers to not lose their 4th consecutive game.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

While Oilers +1.5 (-165) should hit, there is no reason to pay the extra juice on the puck line. Take Edmonton ML at plus-money or bet the total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6.5 (-125).

The Over is 3-0-1 in Edmonton’s last 4 games and 4-0 in Tampa Bay’s last 4 games. Edmonton has scored the 2nd-most goals (50) in the NHL this season and should help the Over hit Tuesday on national television.

Edmonton Oilers at Tampa Bay Lightning odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Edmonton Oilers at Tampa Bay Lightning odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Edmonton Oilers (28-19-3) travel to meet the Tampa Bay Lightning (32-11-6) Wednesday at Amalie Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we look at the Oilers vs. Lightning odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Oilers saw their five-game losing streak snapped in a huge way, losing 7-3 at home against the Minnesota Wild in the second end of a back-to-back situation Sunday.

The Lightning doubled up the New Jersey Devils in Newark by a 6-3 score on Tuesday, and they’re well rested as a result. Tampa Bay has had just three makeup games since Feb. 1, going 2-1-0 during the span.

Mikko Koskinen (17-8-2, 3.13 GAA, .899 SV%) vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy (26-8-4, 2.27 GAA, .922 SV%, 2 SO)

Mike Smith coughed up four goals on just seven shots before getting pulled in the first period against Minnesota Sunday, with Koskinen replacing him and allowing three goals the rest of the way. Neither has been particularly sharp lately.

Oilers at Lightning odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Lightning 5, Oilers 2

Money line

The Lightning (-210) are a little too expensive straight up, costing more than two times your potential return.

PASS, and look to the puck line instead.

Against the spread

The LIGHTNING -1.5 (+115) are a much better value at plus-money, especially on home ice. The Oilers +1.5 (-145) have been very giving this season, whether Koskinen or Smith are in between the pipes.

The Oilers coughed up seven goals last time out, and they’re yielding 3.2 goals per game, which is 23rd in the NHL. Conversely, the Lightning are averaging 3.4 goals per game, ranking ninth in the NHL.

Over/Under

The OVER 6.5 (-115) is the lean here, ever so slightly. The Under has hit lately for the Oilers, going 4-1-1 in the past six as a road ‘dog. However, the Over is 3-1-1 in the past five overall as an underdog. The Over is also 19-8-3 in the past 30 games against Western Conference teams.
