NHL Oilers vs Avalanche Tonight 8 ET - Any Leans?

[Tanko]

Oilers +118 vs Avalanche -130
Total 6.5

Can Oilers avoid being swept?

It does not appear to me the Oilers can hang with the Avs. My concern with playing the Avs tonigh is will they play full speed knowing they have a 3-0 series lead and head home for next game with a loss?

Obviously, the Oilers will be playing for their lives so may that's the right side. Tough call.

 

[Tanko]

Even the total is questionable. 6.5.

I could see the oilers coming up with anywhere from 2-4 goals depending upon how hard the Avs play. On the Avs side I'm thinking 3-4 as well. So I'm looking at 5-8 goals, right on top of the damn total. I see no edge there.

 

[Tanko]

The Avs did beat the Predators in 4 games, wrapping it up on Predator ice 5-3.
BUT, they had to score 3 goals in 3rd period to overcome a 2-3 deficit.

Canada not losing on home ice with a sweep loss

Canada not losing on home ice with a sweep loss

This is what I'm thinking too.

is Evander Kane suspended? and will it have a big impact on the team?

 

[Pimike]

Yes but!!!

Kadri is out for Aves, huge loss for Aves. Will affect them more.

 

[lemartinsports]

good point. feel like pl could be the play, but idk if i want to pay -195 tbh. maybe a very small u on oilers ml cause the value is nice, but if im doubting things i might stay away
is it worth it to you ?

 

[BobbyFK]

I like the under. 7 sounds like a ton of goals

 

[Tanko]

Kane is a loss for the Oilers but now the Avs are without Kadri, Griard (lost in series vs StL), and Burakovsky (hurt in game 1 vs Oilers).

I'm leaning towards Oilers avoiding the sweep in this one.

I’m the kind of guy who just states plays I play and leave others to tail or fade.

I would feel horrible to tell anybody you need to bet this. For if it loses they get mad at Me. Lol

I don’t think Aves will go all out . They don’t need to risk an injury up 3-0. Just my thinking.

 

[Bettor Days]

Colorado's or bust.

I'm thinking you're right because Colorado might play tight just hoping to squeak out of victory

 

[Wagerallsports]

Hmmm so do I go Edmonton or the under?

 

[Tanko]

With Kadri out, that hurts the Avs scoring.
Oilers losing Kane hurts them on scoring as well but McDavid is carrying the load IMO.
Under might be a good play.

I'm taking Oilers +120.
I'm thinking they avoid the sweep.

 

[carolinakid]

OVER imo, im going to bet it live and hope to get it around 5.5

No Evander Kane tonight, their are hottest player in the postseason.

As mentioned no Kadri for full game for Aves

Oilers will try to score as many as the can.
