We're in for a heavyweight tilt between the Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche.

Oilers vs Avalanche prediction

Oilers vs Avalanche best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (+100)

Connor McDavid is priced at +100 to go Over his posted total of 1.5 points tonight, a line he's eclipsed in five of his last six outings — averaging two points per game over that stretch. 

The Colorado Avalanche's penalty kill has been sloppy of late, allowing at least one goal in six of their last seven games. 

This should be an avenue where McDavid can get an edge on Colorado, as the Edmonton Oilers have an NHL-best power play operating at a 32.7% clip — and McDavid is leading the league with 43 power-play points.
