I think Vegas as a heavy favorite for tonight's game is way off-base. Now, they could very well beat the Oilers, but there are several reasons I cannot pass-up a pretty hefty shot on the visitors tonight:
3 games in 4 night for Vegas
Vegas lost their past 5 games in a row
Those two points alone would have me questioning why are they -230 or higher tonight.
Vegas players are banged-up with some questionables for tonight: Stone, Stasny, Schmidt, and Pirri. We already know Malcolm Subban is gonna get another start in goal with Fleury resting still.
This game means about nothing to Vegas in the standings, at this point in the season, so I wonder if they will be of the mentality let's take it easy tonight and not get anyone else hurt, with the playoffs right around the corner after this week.
Did you know Edmonton is 4-3 W/L against Vegas all-time? So they have some success when facing this opponent.
This pick is not a "lock" type of play, but I'm hitting it heavy based on the potential payout.
Other than because the Oilers suck, could anyone give a reason why they like Vegas to win tonight?
