Bruins vs Oilers Odds & Picks: Edmonton Beats B's At Rogers Place

The Oilers are desperate for a response after dropping their last game 6-5 to Stanley Cup Finals foes Florida. Tonight, against the visiting Bruins, Edmonton's desperation should yield a result with the Oilers not losing back-to-back games for over a month, I'll take them on the -180 moneyline from Bet99.

Bruins vs Oilers Picks

Oilers ML (-180) at BET99

A recent 6-5 loss to the Panthers where Evan Bouchard and Stuart Skinner made one-off mistakes leading to Cats goals won't be a concern for the Oilers. Playing in front of a home crowd has been a big part of the Oilers' success going back to last season when they went 28-9-4 at Rogers Place. And now thanks to good home form, the Oilers have put a slow start behind them with 12 wins in their last 17 games, including seven of their last nine home games.

Boston’s recent two road wins against the Canucks and Flames shouldn’t concern the Oilers either. Vancouver has been in a weird funk since JT Miller’s return and Vancouver also started Thatcher Demko for the first time all year. So it's no surprise Demko wasn’t great, stopping only 23 of 28 shots. Meanwhile, Calgary has fallen off since their red-hot start going 3-7SU in their last 10 games and Boston still needed overtime to squeak out a 4-3 win against them.

I get that the trend isn't kind to the Oilers who haven’t won in their last four at home to Boston, but tonight that streak ends. Skinner who was in the net against Florida, has bounced back well after big losses, going 3-1SU after allowing more than three goals. Leon Draisaitl has been a beast, scoring six goals and 15 points in his last six games, averaging 2.5 points per game. OVER 1.5 points for Draisaitl is +115 at BET99.

Bruins vs Oilers Same Game Parlay

Oilers ML: While the Bruins enjoy a four-game win streak when playing in Edmonton it's not as if they dominate the Oilers, Edmonton has won six of its last seven games in Boston. McDavid's men will end their poor streak at home to the Bruins.

McDavid O1.5 Points: With 13 points in his last six games, McDavid has been averaging 2.2 points per game lately and has had four points in his last two games against the Bruins. McJesus has made a career of being more productive at home with 1.64 points per game in front of his fans to 1.41 when on the road.

Marchand Anytime Goal: The Rat King has three goals in his last five games and has goals in four of his last six games against the Oilers. If anyone is going to try and spoil the Oilers' party it's Marchand.

Bruins vs Oilers Player Prop

Leon Draisaitl Anytime Goal (+120) at BET99

Draisaitl has been in glowing form scoring in four straight games before tonight's contest, and as Outlier points out, the German has goals in six of his last seven home games, so I'll take him to score at any time tonight.

Drai has a habit of scoring goals against the Bruins, with eight in his last nine games against the B's. While Boston has previously been known for its strong defensive play, it has allowed an average of 4.3 goals in its last four games. The Bruins are vulnerable and can be easily exploited by a sniper like Draisaitl, specifically with Swayman in net, who's averaged a 0.865 save percentage and 3.33 goals against average in his last five starts.
