Oilers and Predators tips and predictions

forecast

Predators 3, Oilers 2

Money line

BET ON ROBBERTS (+105).

Nashville is still looking for its first win of the season, which it should achieve on Thursday. It has scored 3 goals in 2 of its last 3 games and faces an Edmonton team that has allowed 3 or more goals in all 4 games this season.

The Oilers have scored two goals or fewer in three of four games and will be hard-pressed to get their offense going in their first road game of the season.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

HAPPEN.

It's better if the Predators get an outright win.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6.5 (-115).

Edmonton has scored 2 goals or fewer in 3 of 4 games, while Nashville has scored 3 or fewer in each of its 3 games this season. While both teams are struggling defensively, it is clear that they are also still searching for their offensive identity. Expect both goalkeepers to step up their game and limit the number of goals.
