Edmonton Oilers (24-12-3) at Boston Bruins (20-17-5)
Date: Tuesday, January 7
Time: 7 p.m. ET
TV: NESN, ESPN+
I nailed both picks last Saturday thanks to the Lightning and the Kings battling it out in a low-scoring affair, which Los Angeles won 2-1 at home. Let’s keep the positive new year vibes rolling in Oilers vs. Bruins.
The pick — Oilers 3-Way ML (+120, BetMGM)
Edmonton and Boston are two teams going in opposite directions. The Bruins have lost four in a row and five of their last six games, and it doesn’t get any easier after facing the Oilers on Tuesday. The B’s are likely to be tight for this matchup.
Edmonton is on a three-game win streak and sits ninth in goal differential (+19) and fourth in expected goal differential. The Oilers also have the best player on the planet in Connor McDavid and the NHL’s leading goal scorer in Leon Draisaitl (29 goals).
Despite this game being played in Beantown, I like the visitors to leave town with a regulation victory.
