Maple Leafs vs Oilers Prediction

In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Oilers won 6-3 on the road, but the Leafs are 6-2 in their 8 meetings before that.

In this Maple Leafs vs Oilers Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -200 home favorites. The Oilers have been the better team this season and have been better at home, while the Leafs have been significantly weaker on the road and are also playing their second leg of a road back-to-back. The Oilers are 3-1 in their last 4 games but just 1-5 to the puckline in their last 6, while the Leafs have back-to-back wins, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 11-3-1 to the over in their last 15 games combined and their previous meeting this season had 9 total goals. Their last four meetings between those two teams have also gone over the total, so take the over 6.5 in this one.
