like the Edmonton Oilers to win by more than 1.5 goals Tuesday night against Vancouver.
The biggest factor is the massive gap between these two teams entering the season. Edmonton is being viewed as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, while Vancouver is coming off a season in which it missed the playoffs and is projected near the bottom of the NHL. Reuters currently has Edmonton ranked 3rd entering the season and Vancouver 32nd.
The recent head-to-head results are particularly compelling. Edmonton won 3 of the 4 meetings last season, and the final two matchups were absolute blowouts: 6-0 and 6-1. That's a combined 12-1 in Edmonton's favor.
Vancouver also has a major question in goal. Thatcher Demko is not expected to be available for the opener because of his hip injury, while Kevin Lankinen struggled last season, going 11-27-5 with a .875 save percentage. That is a difficult situation against an Edmonton attack led by Connor McDavid and the Oilers' elite offensive core.
Special teams could also be a major difference. Edmonton's power play is being highlighted as a significant matchup advantage against Vancouver's penalty kill heading into opening night. If Edmonton gets several opportunities with the man advantage, the Oilers have the offensive talent to turn a close game into a multi-goal victory.
Plus, I love that the Oilers have a new coach - they are going to come out flying.

An opening night game between Canada's two "Original Six" teams is always exciting. Off last year's playoff run, expectations are higher for the Canadiens than they are for the Maple Leafs. I don't want to play against the Leafs on opening night though. Rather, let's focus on the total. Seven of the past 10 head-to-head meetings have finished below the total. Montreal's last visit here was 1-1 after regulation. The last five meetings have averaged 4.4 goals. Go with the under.

NHL Moneyline Expert Picks Free of Charge
Certainly the most common and popular type of NHL bet is simply taking the moneyline. In other words, you simply select the winner of any NHL game. If your pick wins, you win your bet. Simplicity embodied.
Free Over/Under & Totals NHL Picks
Similar to soccer, where the over/under is almost always 2.5, and occasionally 3.5, NHL games rarely deviate from an over/under of 5.5. goals. This makes over/under picking pretty straightforward. It you see an expert NHL pick from Wagertalk that has crunched the stats and sees a goal explosion imminent, no doubt that pick will select the over. Conversely, a defensive matchup in the making makes it likely that the expert NHL pick will be on the under.
Winning an NHL over/under bet is easy. You just choose whether or not the teams combined will score more than 5.5. goals or fewer than 5.5 goals. If you are correct, you win your bet.
Free Expert Puck Line Predictions
An exciting NHL bet is picking the puck line. This is really just betting against the spread, but hockey gets a cooler name: THE PUCK LINE. Sounds great, does it not? For more information on betting the puck line, visit our puck line explanation article. In short, though, you are simply getting better odds than you would on a moneyline bet, because sportsbook allow you to choose from multiple puck lines, you can bet on a larger puck line for a greater return.
WagerTalk expert puck line picks are completely free and a common pick type you will see here.
