Wild vs Oilers prediction
Wild vs Oilers Best bet: Evan Bouchard Over 0.5 assists (-125)
Evan Bouchard has been a key player for the Edmonton Oilers for years, and 2025-26 is no different.
The defenseman has four goals and 18 assists in 26 appearances. The former first-round pick has cashed the Over in helpers in three of his last five games.
Bouchard set up a goal in a 4-0 victory over the Kraken, and he also tallied three assists 10 days ago against the Panthers. In just nine contests at home, the 26-year-old has six assists. In his last three games alone, Bouchard has four helpers.
As for tonight’s opponent, he lit them up last season.
In three meetings with the Minnesota Wild, Bouchard posted three assists. I expect him to keep it rolling this evening as the Oilers look to build some momentum after their slow start.
