Oilers VS Golden Knights Game 5 Best Bets


Moneyline/Puckline Pick: Edmonton Oilers (ML/-1.5)

Poised to build upon their momentum gathered in their stifling 4-1 victory over the Golden Knights in Game 4, back the Oilers to pick up the massive win in tonight’s high-stakes matchup.

Looking like the superior team, the Oilers upside has trounced that of their competition. With their top talents surging at the right time and leading by example, look for the Oilers to ride behind their superstar tandem of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to secure them the win with their stellar play.

The Golden Knights will be shorthanded this evening as they will be without the services of top defenceman Alex Pietrangelo who will be serving a one-game suspension for a slash committed in Game 4. With their already thin blue line depleted, look for the Oilers to have no trouble marching in and scoring against the Golden Knights in Game 5.

In each game played so far this series the winning team has successfully covered the puckline. Look for this trend to continue in tonight’s contest as the Oilers defeat the Golden Knights on the road by two goals or more, heading back to the Great White North one win away from the Western Conference Final.

Over/Under: Over 7 Goals

While the Over has yet to hit through four games this series, tonight’s forecast predicts a downpour of goals as each side lights the lamp repeatedly over the course of the game. Both teams have demonstrated their elite scoring ability this series but haven’t had this line up simultaneously.

With both clubs hungry to pick up the win in tonight’s pivotal Game 5, look for each side to go for broke offensively, pushing the tempo of the game while generating nonstop offence. With gifted goal-scorers scattered across the ice, look for the Oilers and Golden Knights to score Over 7 combined goals in tonight’s contest.

Boost your bankroll on tonight’s matchup and watch as your account balance skyrockets alongside the scoreboard in this evening’s high-scoring showdown.



Best Oilers VS Golden Knights Player Prop Bets


Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 2.5 Shots on Goal

Hot off the heels of a sensational performance in Game 4, back the Oilers, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to push the pace offensively for the Oilers, racking up Over 2.5 shots on goal this evening.

While he remained quiet offensively through the first three tilts of this best-of-seven series, look for Nugent-Hopkins to become a focal point of the Oilers game plan, putting pucks on net in order to generate scoring chances for his team.

Bet the Over on Nugent-Hopkins shots on goal total and watch as he stays aggressive from start-to-finish in tonight’s matchup in order to secure you a winning bet slip.

Chandler Stephenson Over 0.5 Points

A scrappy forward that is never afraid to mix it up, the Golden Knights, Chandler Stephenson is primed to put up Over 0.5 points in this evening’s Game 5 matchup.

Having scored two goals in four games played this series, Stephenson has displayed his nose for the puck throughout this closely contested round two matchup. Not only is Stephenson equipped to find the back of the net, he is also one of the best playmakers on his team, finishing the regular season with an impressive 49 assists.

Look for Stephenson to register his name on the stat sheet, providing his team a chance to pull ahead in the series, and scoring you a hefty payday with this player prop bet.
