The Edmonton Oilers look for a win after winning seven of their last nine games. The Edmonton Oilers are averaging 3.4 goals per game and are scoring on 27 percent of their power play opportunities. Connor McDavid leads Edmonton with 21 goals, Leon Draisaitl has 32 assists and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 100 shots on goal. Defensively, the Edmonton Oilers are allowing 2.9 goals per game and are killing 76 percent of their opponents power plays. Mikko Koskinen has allowed 55 goals on 568 shots faced and Stuart Skinner has allowed five goals on 38 shots.
The Toronto Maple Leafs need a win after losing six of their last nine games. The Toronto Maple Leafs are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 27.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Auston Matthews leads Toronto with 21 goals, Mitchell Marner has 29 assists and John Tavares has 91 shots on goal.

The Oilers are 7-2 in their last 9 road games and 7-2 in their last 9 overall. The Maple Leafs are 13-5 in their last 18 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 3-0-1 in Oilers last 4 Saturday games. The over is 5-2 in Maple Leafs last 7 overall. The Oilers are 2-8 in the last 10 meetings in Toronto and 6-20 in the last 26 meetings. The favorite is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings. The road team is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.
The Edmonton Oilers continue to get little to no respect from oddsmakers, but yet they've won seven of their last nine games and are quickly becoming one of the more profitable teams in the sport. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the better team on paper and are probably due for a bounce back victory, but it's hard to lay juice with a team that's lost six of their last nine games. We're getting big plus money wit the team playing the better hockey right now. I'll take my chances.
