Trends
Edmonton is 10-2 in their last 12 road games and 10-3 in their last 13 Friday games. The over is 26-11 in Edmonton’s last 37 road games. Vegas is 6-2 in their last 8 games and 15-5 in their last 20 home games. The under is 4-1 in Vegas’ last 5 games. Edmonton is 5-1 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings in Vegas.
Pick
These two teams come into this series looking to take a commanding 3-2 lead, but each team has played inconsistently so far in this series. Edmonton will be missing Darnell Nurse, while Vegas will be without Alex Pietrangelo due to suspensions. Edmonton is the more talented team in this matchup, but can they play sound defense and get decent goaltending again? I think we are going to see another good game from Edmonton and I am taking them to get the road win.
