Islanders at Oilers picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 4, Islanders 3

Moneyline

The Isles struggled away from home last season, going 17-18-6 (25-13-3 at home). Figure this road trip as being a major test for them.

Puck possession and expected-goal numbers indicate the Oilers are capable of much better hockey. NaturalStatTrick's figures peg Edmonton as creating more even-strength high-danger chances than any other club, but they have capitalized on those good chances way less often than the league average.

Some righting of the goaltending numbers should be expected, too. Peg Edmonton as a near-70% proposition here. BACK THE OILERS (-175).

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS — trusting the Edmonton offense to break through perhaps before the goaltending.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-0 across the last 4 Islanders-Oilers contests, but both sides have some indicators that favor some offense in this meeting. However, we should want better pricing to pull the trigger on this total.

PASS.
