Maple Leafs vs Oilers prediction

Maple Leafs vs Oilers best bet: Over 6.5 (-145)

I’m anticipating a fast-paced game with a lot of scoring when these teams meet tonight.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers have cleared 6.5 goals in four straight meetings vs. one another. 

Additionally, five straight Oilers games have seen 7+ goals scored, while the Leafs are 6-3-1 to the Over in their last 10 games. 

Overall, both teams have played in many high-scoring games, with the Over going 64-45-3 between them and each ranking in the Top 13 in scoring and Top 11 in goals against. 

In other words, both teams can score, but neither can defend — a good pairing for Over bettors. 

The goaltending matchup screams Over as well. 

The expected starters tonight are Tristan Jarry and Anthony Stolarz. Jarry was 3-3-1 with an .866 SV% in January, while Stolarz returned to the ice recently and has allowed nine goals over his two starts since, with an .824 SV%. 

With both goalies struggling, I'm especially confident in the Over tonight.

With a ton of scoring expected, Bobby McMann will be involved. He’s playing on the top line with PP2 duties and has registered a point in five of his last six games. 

I'll also take the Over on William Nylander's shot prop. He’s gone Over 2.5 SOG in both games since returning from injury, averaging four per game.
