The Golden Knights are 18-16-6 as the visitors.

Leg 2: Under 6.5 Total Goals (-132)

Although these teams have plenty of offensive firepower, that doesn’t necessarily mean a high-scoring is on tap.
There are question marks with Connor McDavid’s availability for this contest, which could help limit the scoring tonight.
Three of the last four Oilers games have seen six or fewer total goals scored.
With these teams potentially colliding in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, we’re not expecting them to show off too many tricks tonight.

Leg 3: Leon Draisaitl to Record 3+ Shots on Goal (-156)

If McDavid doesn’t suit up, the Oilers’ attention will turn toward Leon Draisaitl.
Draisaitl is already a superstar in his own right and has tallied 102 points in 76 games.
Draisaitl has points in four of his last five games.
Although Draisaitl has only recorded three or more shots on goal once over his last four games, there’s value in him playing a more significant role on offense tonight.
