Nashville @ Edmonton
I like the Oilers tonight but am playing totals rather than sides here. I have to give the edge & momentum to Edmonton tonight. They have really been spot on at both ends the past 5 games or so and now that Scrivens is bringing his near A game I really like their chances at home tonight. The exact can be said about Rinne and Nashville. They also have been playing fantastic for the most part. This is a tight game that really should be a run from and just watch game ,but since it will be an exciting game and I feel pretty good about my numbers I am going to mix up a few plays and enjoy.The Power play should be a deciding factor tonight and with both killing at nearly identical %'s this is wide open for debate as well. Again though giving that edge to the Oilers also. This without question is a coin toss on paper at least that's how I read it. The end call for me boils down to a few slight advantages that I came up with for Edmonton but sticking to the totals rather than either side. Obviously those advantages are only my opinion based on my numbers after capping the game. I've been torn on the total since last night- Originally I had it 3-0, --3-1--, 4-1--,4-2--, so I've been all over on the game total,but all projected totals have Edmonton covering their posted number of 2.5 goals -125. Even though none of my original game finishing lines came near to OT, this game has that type of feel all around it and I just feel Nashville storms back in the 3rd to tie the game taking this into OT at 3 a piece. I have Edmonton scoring 1 1st P goal & 2 2nd P goals. Also originally I planned to play Edmonton -.5 1st P +195, but I'm getting tugged at the idea of Nashville scoring in the 1st as well. So on the over 1.5 1st P. ------- I''m not going to lay -150 for the 2nd P over 1.5 ,but feel that is a solid number with Edmonton getting 2. Also the 3rd @ o/1.5 -140 plays into my thoughts but taking the game total at a much better price.
1st P over 1.5 -105 2* unit
Game over 5.5 +110
Game goes to OT yes +275
Edmonton over 2.5 game -125 2* unit
Live in game OT Yes Detroit @ Washington +270
