I can certainly see Edmonton winning this game and evening the series but the Ducks being +115 at home after scoring 13 goals in the last two games if kind of crazy. There is talk the Oilers may go with Tristan Jarry in net for Game 4. While Connor Ingram is struggling, a potential move to Jarry smells more like desperation. He's averaging 3.32 goals against this season and Anaheim hung 13 goals in three games versus Jarry this season. Edmonton is just 19-17-6 on the road, so I'll take the Ducks at plus money in The Pond.
Take the names off the front of the jerseys and one of these teams has looked the part of perennial contender and it's not the Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton can blame lackluster goaltending again but that shifts too much responsibility off a group that didn't generate a single shot on net the final 11 minutes of Game 3. Both of the Oilers stars are dealing with nagging injuries and that's a problem for a top heavy line-up. Anaheim has flashed their youth, speed, and veteran savvy behind the bench through three games. I show value in the home team anything +103 or better in Game 4 especially if we get a Tristan Jarry start for the Oilers.
I was sitting here wondering if the books had the stones to post a 7.5 total for a Stanley Cup playoff game. Question answered (have never seen an 8 in my life, FYI, if wondering). Can't tell you how rare that is. Again, I am prepared to lose and the Ducks nearly topped this themselves in Game 3. But it's an absolute must-play something per the math. We win on a 3-3 regulation draw in the postseason? 100 percent have to and when the final score is 6-5, I just say good job dudes. But I'm still "Beautiful Mind" right.
