🏆 Who will win Oilers vs. Ducks?
I'm taking the Ducks to win Game 4. The Oilers look old and slow in this series, with fatigue after two straight Cup Final runs setting in likely. A banged-up Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl can't rescue them this time.
Score prediction: Ducks 5, Oilers 3
💰 Oilers vs. Ducks prediction & best bet
Over 7 (-110)
This has been the highest-scoring series of the first round, and I don't expect that to change in Game 4. There's been an average of 9.3 combined goals across six Oilers vs. Ducks matchups this season.
Most of that damage has been done to the Oilers, and I don't see an antidote for Edmonton. Poor goaltending is naturally the focus, but the Oilers' giveaways and sloppy defending have contributed to what's been a brutal stretch in their own end. I'm backing Over 7 at FanDuel's -110 odds, rather than the 7.5 available at plus-money through some of the other best sports betting apps.
🔥 Best Oilers vs. Ducks player prop bet
Leo Carlsson Over 3.5 shots on goal (+120)
Leo Carlsson has been far and away the most active shooter for the Ducks in the playoffs. His 18 shots on goal are nearly double the total of the second-ranked Ducks skater in that category (Beckett Sennecke).
He's also tallied Over 3.5 shots in four of five games versus the Oilers this season, including all three contests in this series. DraftKings' +120 odds are a steal ahead of Game 4 tonight.
🚀 Oilers vs. Ducks same-game parlay
I've got a 2-leg parlay on Over 7 and Leo Carlsson 4-plus shots on goal. The Ducks' offense has been absolutely rolling the last couple of games, and Carlsson is a big reason why. FanDuel offers the best odds on this 2-legger at +331.

I'm betting a full unit on my favorite wager for Game 4: Over 7, given the strong evidence of high-scoring results in Oilers vs. Ducks.
