💰 Golden Knights vs. Oilers prediction & best bet
Oilers ML (-113)
The Oilers are perfect against the Golden Knights this season, entering tonight's home stand 3-0 SU against Vegas. The Golden Knights have won back-to-back games, although they are 1-2 SU in their previous three road contests.
Previous matchups have resulted in the Oilers winning 4-3, 4-2, and 4-3. The last two games were played in Vegas, so expect the Oilers to be primed at home, where they've won five of the last seven.
The Oilers are 5-0 SU in their last five games against the Golden Knights, including 7-0 SU against the last seven Western Conference opponents.
Score prediction: Oilers 3, Golden Knights 2 (+1400 via FanDuel)
🔥 Best Golden Knights vs. Oilers player prop bet
Matt Savoie Over 0.5 points (-113)
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl steal the spotlight, but don't sleep on Savoie. Savoie skates on the first attack line alongside McDavid, in addition to the primary power play unit.
Currently, Draisaitl is out, which is why Savoie has been elevated into a prime position in the Oilers' lineup. He's lit the lamp in four of his past five starts, which is why we're targeting Savoie in the point betting market.
Vegas has surrendered three or more goals in four of its past five games. Find the best line for Savoie's over 0.5 points prop bet at -113 odds on FanDuel.
📊 Live Golden Knights vs. Oilers odds
The betting markets for tonight's Golden Knights vs. Oilers matchup have not moved since opening lines were released at our best sports betting sites. The total sits at 6.0, while the Oilers remain -113 betting favorites at home.
Each team has had a one-day rest, so there's no advantage entering this game. The Golden Knights start a four-game road trip in Edmonton tonight, while the Oilers will attempt to close out their four-game home stand a perfect 4-0.
🚀 Golden Knights vs. Oilers same-game parlay
The Golden Knights will look to avoid a 4-0 sweep against the Oilers this season during tonight's road contest at Rogers Place. Neither team has clinched a playoff berth yet, with only three points separating them in the Pacific Division playoff seeding.
Expect both teams to be aggressive early, with Oilers forward Matt Savoie leading the charge with his goal-scoring prowess. Savoie has scored a goal in four of his past five starts, helping propel the Oilers on their five-game win streak
Unders have been profitable for both teams lately. The Oilers have gone under 6.0 total goals in three straight games, while the Golden Knights have gone under 6.0 in four consecutive road matchups.
Expect a tight, low-scoring win from the Oilers to complete their season sweep of the Golden Knights on home ice.

💡 How I'm betting Golden Knights vs. Oilers
Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
We're investing 3.5 units for tonight's exciting Pacific Division matchup that holds plenty of playoff implications. The Oilers are red-hot, winners of five straight, while the Golden Knights have yet to post a win against their division rival this season. Unders have been lucrative during the Oilers' home stand, as well as when Vegas goes on the road.
Savoie stands out as one of the highest value players to target in the point betting market in this game. The 22-year-old has scored four goals in his past five starts, so we'll play this conservatively with 1+ points at -113 odds instead of a plus-odds anytime goal scorer prop.
This three-leg parlay warrants a 0.5 unit wager valued at +628 odds.
