Total Annihilation - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL 10* Top Play OVER the total in Edmonton Oilers vs Toronto Maple Leafs @ 8:05 ET - Why did this total open up at a 6.5 and not a 6? Really it is strange because the Oilers have not even scored a goal in the last two games and yet the odds makers still hung a 6.5 on this one. Exactly! As long-time followers know, I am a contrarian and I feel strongly that, in this case, we are going to see a barnburner tonight when many are least expecting it. The Maple Leafs and Oilers are two of the highest scoring teams in the league and Edmonton can not keep getting shutdown on their home ice. They will bounce back. The Oilers are likely to get another shot tonight at Toronto's #3 goalie, Michael Hutchinson, and they will take advantage after he surprisingly shut them out Monday. Here is how I see this one playing out...the Leafs have scored at least 3 goals in all 10 of their road games this season. But I do not see the Oilers being denied again in this game. I could see the game going either way in terms of the side but Edmonton is going to battle hard and get their 3 goals here too. A 3-3 game can not end with anything less than a 4-3 final. This one goes over the total as result. Prior to these back to back shutout losses to the Maple Leafs, the Oilers had averaged scoring 3.6 goals per game in the 5 most recent meetings with Toronto. Also, Edmonton had averaged scoring 4 goals per game this season in a 16-game stretch that preceded these rare back to back shutouts for the Oilers. They'll get back on track tonight. 10* OVER the total in Edmonton
