Result: Loss
#44 ASA NHL PLAY ON 8* Edmonton Oilers Puck Line (-1.5 goals +130) over Vegas Golden Knights, Sunday at 10 PM ET - We know Edmonton is going to bring it on home ice here after the tough Game 5 loss. We like the Oilers no matter who is in goal here as the Knights injured Brossoit did not even travel with the team. The Knights choices are the P/O inexperienced Hill or rusty Jonathan Quick here. The Oilers, when off a loss, are a perfect 8-0 the last 8. As for laying the 1.5 goals here, the Oilers wins in this series was by a 5-1 final at Vegas and all 3 of their home wins in this post-season (including 2 against the Kings) were by multi-goal margins - 14 to 6 aggregate on those three games. The Oilers, dating back to their red-hot close to the regular season as well, were 20-5 last 25 games before that Game 5 loss. This is bounce back time and we expect Edmonton to improve to 9-0 last 9 times when off a loss. Of course the Oilers are a huge money line favorite for a reason and, that being said, we see a lot of value with the puck line in this one. Laying the 1.5 goals with home favorite Edmonton for a plus money return in this one is the value play here.
