GOLDEN KNIGHTS/OILERS: ROGERS IS BACK IN ACTION!
(NHL) Vegas vs. Edmonton,
Money Line: -114.00 Vegas (Away)
Result: Win
After a long and very poor stretch, could the Oilers have turned things around? They won 5 of 6 leading up to the break, including victories against Nashville and Washington. Meanwhile the Golden Knights, who are a very good road team, have been up and down in their last games. One point of note. Lehner who has been a disappointment in net for the Knights, is slowly edging towards respectability. Mike Smith is back in goal for the Oilers. This has been a lost season for Smith. It is now more than a month since he has played, and it may take him a few games to find his form. Both teams can put the puck in the net, and both defenses have struggled. The Oilers’ defense are now ranked 22nd for the season. I am yet to be convinced that the Oilers have completely turned a corner, and Smith is very much a question mark for me at this point. Take the Golden Knights to steal this one.
