Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Nashville is 11-4 SU in its last 15 games and is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games on the road. Also, Nashville is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing Edmonton and 1-5 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Edmonton. Edmonton is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home. Edmonton has won 4 games in a row.
Pekka Rinne who will be in net for Nashville, has been strong all season, going 5-1-1 with a 1.81 GAA and .932 save percentage. Rinne, however, 2-4-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .872 save percentage in his last seven games against Edmonton. Ben Scrivens will be in net for Edmonton tonight. Scrivens is 1-2-0 with a 2.37 GAA in three starts against the Predators. Also, Scrivens is 4-1-0 with a 1.61 GAA and .945 save percentage in his last five starts.
Having not won a game the Oilers have really turned things around. One key not is that during that four game stretch the Oilers were underdogs in three of them. Also, scoring at least 3 goals or more in all four games. I believe that once again the betting public is undervaluing the Oilers tonight with only 35% of all Off-Shore bettors siding with the Oilers. Tonight, is a great opportunity to side with a hot team playing in front of their home crowd while being an underdog. Even with the 65% who are backing the Predators the line has not moved all that much. Opening at Nashville 1.83 to 1.86 and Edmonton 2.00 to 2.06. Taking the home dog in this one. Best of luck!
