Blackhawks vs. Oilers Pick
Money Line pick for Blackhawks vs. Oilers
- Oilers (+4 Units)
The Blackhawks were smoked in their last game, and the Oilers lost in OT in their last game for their third loss in the last four games. Edmonton has had issues on the defensive side of the ice and Chicago had been pretty solid on D before getting lit up for a season-high six goals in their last game. The Oilers have not clicked on the attack yet despite having McDavid and Draisaitl in the fold. In terms of the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Edmonton Oilers prediction, the Oilers will click on the attack in this game, and while they will give up some goals, they will score more and get the win on home ice.
Over/Under Pick for Blackhawks vs. Oilers
- Over (+4 Units)
The total has gone Over for the Oilers' last three games and for the last two for the Blackhawks, and that is the pick I lean towards in this game. The Blackhawks had been playing solid defense for several games before getting lit up for a season-high six goals in their last one. Edmonton has had issues on defense, and their attack has been up and down. However, in this game it will be up. Add that to Chicago and their decent attack playing well and you have a higher-scoring game, so take the Over in this one.
