Edmonton -125

The Oilers offer nice value to start the season on home ice as my simulations make them -150 against the Canucks. Look for a hot start to the season for the top line of Nugent-Hopkins/McDavid/Kassian. I also really love the PP unit with Draisaitl and Tyson Barrie. Lay it.

I'm also taking the Oilers on the puckline at -1.5 (+230) to open the season as this line is priced as if these teams are much closer than they actually are in this season opener.

LOSS

Vancouver is breaking in a new No. 1 goaltender in Braden Holtby, who was not very good last season with Washington. In addition, the Canucks are without their 2019-20 leading scorer in JT Miller due to COVID protocols. He had 27 goals and 45 assists with a plus-11 rating. The league puts out a press release every day regarding guys out due to protocols. I highly recommend finding that. The Oilers won't miss Miller as he had four points vs. Edmonton in the four games. The home team is 9-4 in the past 13 in the series.
