The Edmonton Oilers have brought in reinforcements ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline, and they won’t have to wait long to see the impact with a tape-measure matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes.

My top Hurricanes vs. Oilers predictions and NHL picks are calling for Edmonton to pull off the win, with winger Jack Roslovic also picking up two or more shots on Friday, March 6. 

Hurricanes vs Oilers prediction

Hurricanes vs Oilers best bet: Jack Roslovic Over 1.5 shots (-125)

Edmonton Oilers winger Jack Roslovic has recorded 2+ shots in seven of his past nine games.

Roslovic is penciled into a top-six role alongside Leon Draisaitl and Matthew Savoie, and the trio has driven five-on-five possession with a high-end 58.1 Corsi For percentage.

While the Carolina Hurricanes are an elite shot-suppressing team, it’s built into this price, and Edmonton also has the last-change advantage on home ice to find favorable matchups for its top players.

Hurricanes vs Oilers same-game parlay

I expect the Oilers to start a late-season surge, and Carolina is also in the middle of a four-game road trip, going a ho-hum 5-4-3 over its past 12 games on the highway.

Turning to the final leg of this SGP, goals have been coming in bunches for Edmonton, as the Over has cashed in nine of their last 11 games (+9.00 Units / 67% ROI).

The Oilers pace the league with 4.45 goals per game during that stretch, and with the Hurricanes scoring 3.73 per game over the same span, I anticipate another high-scoring result at Rogers Place tonight.

Neil Parker is, first and foremost, a sports fan. A huge supporter of the Cowboys, Cubs, and Maple Leafs, he has managed to parlay his passion into writing gigs at some of the top websites in the industry.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
