The Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights play a crucial Game 4 on Monday night.
The pregame narrative: The away team has won every game in this series, but Edmonton has a chance to break that trend. Vegas, which is 3-1 on the road this postseason, is a slight underdog in this matchup.
Check out my Golden Knights vs. Oilers prop picks on Leon Draisaitl and Alex Pietrangelo for May 12.
Golden Knights vs. Oilers picks
Best bet: Draisaitl to score (+105)
The baseline to this bet is that Draisaitl is 5-4 against this line in these playoffs, which is a nice hit rate for a plus-money pick.
He also led the NHL with 52 goals during the regular season and is heating up at the right time.
Draisaitl has five points in three outings against the Golden Knights, with goals in the first two games. He failed to score in Game 3 — save for a deflection that went into his own net — but was still effective offensively, recording two assists.
This series has unsurprisingly been high scoring. The Oilers are averaging 4.0 goals per game, and the offence, as always, is led by Connor McDavid and Draisaitl.
Vegas’ goalie, Adin Hill, is struggling in the postseason, posting a 3.14 GAA and .872 SV%.
Key stat: The German forward has played 20-plus minutes in eight of nine postseason games and is leading the Oilers with five goals.
Game 4 prop prediction
Pietrangelo to register a point (+155): It was a roller coaster of a season for the Canadian blue-liner.
He missed a handful of games down the stretch and got injured again in the opening round against the Minnesota Wild.
But he returned in Game 2 of this series, and his impact was felt immediately.
- Game 2: 2 points (25:38 on ice)
- Game 3: 1 point (21:26 on ice)
Pietrangelo is 5-3 against this wager in the playoffs and plays a crucial role on Vegas’ back end.
Calvin Pickard felt like a saviour between the pipes for Edmonton, but an undisclosed injury kept him out of Game 3 and will keep him sidelined on Monday.
That leaves Stuart Skinner. The netminder is 0-3 in these playoffs with a 5.36 GAA and .817 SV%.
Scoring chances should be plentiful for both sides.
