Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
You can make a case for Vegas and the plus money as the Knights had their chances to win game 2, and the underdog has won seven of the last 10 games between the Golden Knights and Oilers. However, losing an overtime game like game 2 can be crushing, and now Vegas has to get off the canvas to win on the road. The Oilers are rolling with six straight wins and they’ve averaged 4.83 goals during this stretch. When the Oilers are playing at this level they’re hard to stop as we saw last postseason when they made a run to the finals. I’m not trying to step in front of the Oilers and the price is more than reasonable. Give me the Oilers to take a 3-0 series lead.
