The Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs meet Wednesday in NHL action at the Scotiabank Arena.

The Edmonton Oilers need a win here to rebound from a rough 1-3 start t the season. The Edmonton Oilers are averaging three goals per game and are scoring on 18.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Connor McDavid leads Edmonton with three goals, Leon Draisaitl has five assists and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 17 shots on goal. Defensively, the Edmonton Oilers are allowing four goals per game and are killing 88.9 percent of their opponents power plays. Mikko Koskinen has allowed 15 goals on 145 shots faced.

The Toronto Maple Leafs look for another victory to build on their 3-1 record. The Toronto Maple Leafs are averaging 3.5 goals per game and are scoring on 42.9 percent of their power play opportunities. Mitch Marner leads Toronto with three goals, John Tavares has three assists and Auston Matthews has 21 shots on goal. Defensively, the Toronto Maple Leafs are allowing three goals per game and are killing 82.4 percent of their opponents power plays. Frederik Andersen has given up 10 goals on 84 shots faced and Jack Campbell has given up two goals on 19 shots.

The Oilers are 2-5 in their last 7 road games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The Maple Leafs are 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win. The under is 6-1 in Maple Leafs last 7 home games. The Oilers are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Toronto and 7-20 in the last 27 meetings. The road team is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. The favorite is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings.

While the jury is still out on if the Toronto Maple Leafs can continue playing at this level, it is nice to see one of the more talented rosters play like it and string wins together. The Edmonton Oilers aren’t playing good hockey and their defensive issues don’t bode well against this Maple Leafs offense. The Toronto Maple Leafs have also beat up on the Oilers over the years. I’ll back the Maple Leafs and the PL for max betting value.
