Maple Leafs vs. Oilers Preview
Edmonton put five past one of the better defensive teams, Carolina, on Thursday before winning in a shootout, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each finishing with five points. The Hurricanes came into that game allowing a league-low 2.46 expected goals against per 60 minutes.
Toronto doesn’t look like the team to slow that down. The Leafs are allowing 3.36 expected goals against per 60, one of the 10 worst marks in the league, and have given up 38 goals in 12 games, including four to the Rangers on Thursday.
The Oilers lead the NHL with 4.52 goals per 60 minutes and an absurd 18.5% shooting percentage, which is easily the best mark of any team. Edmonton has also gone over this number in seven of 10 games this season.
If Edmonton can put five on Carolina, getting to four against Toronto shouldn’t be a problem. Like everyone else, I’ll keep finding ways to back Edmonton’s offense.
Best Bet: Oilers Team Total Over 3.5 (-150, DraftKings)
