Injuries and lineup news
When this preview was written, the NHL game centre listed no scratches for either team, and we found no official injury or starting goalie announcement for this game. Teams usually confirm their goalie after the morning skate, so check the clubs' official channels before betting.
What to watch for bettors
This preview does not quote prices. Lines move as lineup news comes in. Here is what each main market means:
- Moneyline: you pick the team that wins the game. At most books, overtime and the shootout count. A minus price marks the favourite, a plus price the underdog.
- Puck line: hockey's spread, almost always 1.5 goals. The favourite at -1.5 must win by two or more; the underdog at +1.5 wins the bet if it wins outright or loses by one. Late empty-net goals often decide it.
- Totals: a bet on whether the combined goals go over or under a set number, usually 5.5 or 6.5. Check your book's house rules on overtime and on how a shootout winner is counted.
- Props: bets on a player or team event, such as shots on goal, points or a goalie's saves. Wait for confirmed lineups and starting goalies before betting them.
Edmonton's 75 goals for and 55 against give it a +20 goal difference; New York sits at 55 for and 52 against. Totals bettors will note that the Oilers have scored four or more goals in four of their last five games.
Before you bet, turn the two prices into implied probabilities and strip out the bookmaker's margin with our no-vig calculator. No result is certain, so set a budget and stick to it.
