It has scored 22 goals in its last four games and ranks fifth in goals per game (3.32).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right behind Edmonton in that metric is Toronto (3.30 goals\/game). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t really understand the Skinner-for-Jarry move and view it as more of a lateral, change-of-scenery trade, rather than a clear-cut upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jarry has a career .909 SV% and got lit up by the Maple Leafs twice this year as a member of the Penguins. He gave up seven goals on 33 shots in those contests (.787 SV%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Five of the last six games between the Leafs and Oilers have gone over this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122156\">Embed: #122156<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NHL prop picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Draisaitl and Matthews to each record a point (-127):<\/strong> I&#8217;m expecting the scoreboard operator to be busy, so it only makes sense to back one big dog from each team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Draisaitl and Matthews have -385 and -235 odds to record a point, respectively.
