Preview
The Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche will play the Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals at the Ball Arena on Thursday night. The Avs took the win 8-6 in a very exciting Game 1 to take the lead 1-0 in the series.
Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton have won their 4 of their last 5 games and are 25-23 on the road so far this season. They have 57-38 overall record ranking 2nd in the Pacific. The Oilers are 42-21 against teams in the Western Conference.
Connor McDavid has scored 44 goals with 79 assists for the Oilers. Leon Draisaitl has seven goals and 12 assists over the past 10 games.
In their last 10 games the Oilers are 6-4 averaging 4.1 goals, 6.8 assists, six penalties and 14.6 penalty minutes while giving up 3.9 goals per game.
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado have won 4 of their last 5 games and are 36-11 at home. They have 65-28 overall record ranking 1st in the Central Division. The Avalanche are 43-18 against conference rivals. Colorado averages 8.8 penalty minutes per game, the ninth-most in the Western Conference and have gone 54-4-4 when scoring three or more goals.
Mikko Rantanen has 36 goals and 56 assists for the Avalanche. Lehkonen has six goals over the last 10 games.
In their last 10 games the Avalanche are 8-2, averaging 4.4 goals, 6.3 assists, four penalties and 10.2 penalty minutes while giving up 3.1 goals per game.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Edmonton's last 6 games.
Edmonton are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
Edmonton are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Colorado.
Colorado are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games.
Colorado are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games at home.
Prediction
Both offenses exploded in Game 1 but the Avalanche was more powerful and ended up scoring 8 goals to win the game. The Oilers continue to be very agressive offensively as they have scored an average of 5 goals per game in their last 6 games. The Avalanche have lost only 11 games at home this season but they're 24-23 ATS at home as well. I think the Oilers can keep it closer this time enough to cover the puck line.
PICK: Oilers +1.5 (-150)
