The Bruins did shake their recent four-game skid in a dramatic shootout win over the Stars on Monday, but the past couple of weeks have been subpar for Boston, which had also lost five of six before Monday, with the offense held to three total goals over a recent three-game stretch. One thing we know about Edmonton is that the Oilers have no trouble scoring goals (21 across the past four games), and with 20 wins in the last 23, and eight straight wins at home, it's a proper case that can be made for Connor McDavid and friends. Play Oilers on Money Line
Edmonton has cooled down a bit after its 16-game win streak, losing three times in the last seven games. That stretch has also brought GK Stuart Skinner back to Earth after his historic January; in February, not as much, with a 3.46 GAA and .880 saves this month. Any team with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (and sometimes Evander Kane, who scored twice in the Monday win at Arizona) can also score, which Edmonton has done 21 times across the last four games ("overs" in each of those). Boston's offense has stirred in the past two games, scoring nine times, and getting beyond six goals looks very doable tonight. Play Bruins-Oilers "Over"
Possible Stanley Cup Finals preview and you have to take Edmonton home at this price against even the loaded USSR team from that awesome bubble hockey table game from decades ago. I will have one of those in my home eventually. And, yep, I always played as Russia not USA. Kinda like Matthew Broderick in WarGames. Boston has lost four of five and hasn't played a road game in nearly a month.
The Boston Bruins are set to play their first road game (2,616 miles to Rogers Place) since January 27th and have a big revenge game at Calgary on Thursday. Boston is ranked 23rd in shots against, while Edmonton is ranked second. Additionally, the Oilers have an impressive +272 shot differential, while Boston is at -65. Edmonton is also ranked eighth in face-off win percentage, while the Bruins are ranked 17th. It's worth noting that Edmonton has won 10 of their past 15 meetings with Boston. Furthermore, they have an excellent home record, winning 29 out of their last 40 home games, including eight straight victories. Play Edmonton!
