Canucks at Oilers picks and predictions
Prediction
Oilers 4, Canucks 3
Moneyline
SPRINKLE OILERS (-210).
This is minimal value on the Oilers to win, however there is a lower probability of them covering the puck line. Each of their last 3 wins have been by a goal and each game in this series has been a 1-goal differential. Edmonton has scored 4 goals in 3 of its last 4 games while Vancouver has scored 4 or more in 2 of the 3 games in this series. Due to the low value, a sprinkle is recommended.
Puck line/Against the spread
PASS.
There is no value on the Oiler’s puck line with each of the 3 games in this series being separated by a single goal.
Over/Under
BET OVER 6.5 (-105).
The Over has hit in each game in this series with each team scoring 3 or more goals in each game so far. The Canucks have hit the Over in 6 of their last 10 games, including 2 of their last 3 on the road, while the Oilers have hit the Over in 8 of their last 10, including each of their last 4 at home.
