The Vegas Golden Knights (14-5-3) take on the Edmonton Oilers (7-12-1) Tuesday at Rogers Place. Puck drop is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'lines around the Golden Knights vs. Oilers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
VGK is 1-2-2 over the last 5, and the Knights dropped Monday’s game 2-1 in OT against the Calgary Flames. Fast forward 24 hours, and they continue their Tour de Canada in Edmonton. Vegas beat the Oilers in 6 games in the Western Conference Semi-Finals last season.
Edmonton won 3 of the 4 regular-season matchups last year. There has been something very broken about it this year. It has started to play a little better after firing its coach Nov. 12, but it’s still just 4-3 since then. It beat up on the Washington Capitals 5-0 and Anaheim Ducks 8-2 in the last 2 games. So maybe this tough matchup could serve as a springboard to its season.
