Game Notes Oilers @ Golden Knights: A Must Win if Oilers Want Home Ice
The odds of the Edmonton Oilers gaining home-ice advantage are low, but they need a regulation win in Vegas tonight to have any chance of opening the playoffs in Edmonton. — A regulation win moves them within three points of Vegas. Vegas would still have a game in hand, and the Oilers would have to play very well down the stretch, but winning in 60 minutes tonight would keep their hone-ice hopes alive. — A win tonight would at least put some pressure on Vegas, because the Golden Knights h

The Big Four
The Big Four. That’s right. The Big Four. Fans of the Edmonton Oilers have been spoiled by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl for so long, it’s little wonder they’ve stood alone when it comes to superlatives. McDavid and Draisaitl have been the most prolific players, and by a lot, this team has had for a long time. They still are of course, but with the guts of the stretch drive to go, they’re sharing the marquee with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman, who are both enjoying career-high

NHL Tuesday best bets: Oilers to outduel Knights
We have a jam-packed night of games ahead of us, headlined by a clash between two of the Western Conference's best teams. Let's take a closer look at the best way to attack that game - and the slate - with a pair of bets. Oilers (-125) @ Golden Knights (+105) Save for a healthy version of the Avalanche, I think the Oilers - with Stuart Skinner in goal - are as good as any team in the Western Conference. The Oilers have controlled just under 55% of the high-danger chances at five-on-five over t

Only three active players have scored 300 goals faster than Oilers' Draisaitl
Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl has officially nabbed his 300th NHL snipe. And he’s the fourth-fastest active skater to accomplish the feat. “Leon’s one of a kind,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft told media postgame. One of four now, too. Only Sidney Crosby (622 games) of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Steven Stamkos (550) of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Alex Ovechkin (473) of the Washington Capitals were quicker off the draw than that of Draisaitl, who nabbed his feat in 630 games play

Game 75 2022-23: Oilers at Golden Knights
Photo by Noah Fuchs The Edmonton Oilers won a high-scoring game in the desert last night, and chances are we’ll see plenty of goals tonight. The Oilers move from the Sonoran (which runs all the way to Osoyoos) to the Mojave desert and move several flights up in terms of quality of competition. The club received good news on the out of town scoreboard, as Seattle Kraken lost and are now five points back of the Edmonites with a game in hand. This will be a tough battle this evening for the r

NHL Tuesday player props: Hintz to feast in Chicago
Our shot props stayed hot on Monday night, as two of three came through for us. Naturally, it was superstar Leon Draisaitl - in a dream spot against the Coyotes - that failed to get the job done. We'll look to build on Monday's success with three more props for Tuesday night's big slate. Let's dig in. Roope Hintz over 2.5 shots (-110) Hintz is quietly on a nice little shooting run away from home. He has hit in 60% of his last 20 road dates, including seven of the past 10. The volume discrepancy

The Day After 74.0: Oilers come out of Mullett Arena with much-needed two points
When you see the Arizona Coyotes’ name on the schedule, it’s reasonable to assume that’s an easy two points. That was certainly the case earlier in the season, as the Coyotes posted a 7-13-4 record while playing 20 of their first 24 games on the road. Since then, the Coyotes have settled into Mullett Arena, their temporary, 4,600-seat home at Arizona State University. While the Coyotes are a putrid 7-23-9 on the road this season, they came into Monday’s game against the Oilers with a
