Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview: Looking To Avoid Going Down 0-2
Connor McDavid once again scored a goal for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1. He also recorded an assist in this hockey game. McDavid was solid in the last game but may need to be even better in Game 2 to potentially even up this series.
Leon Draisaitl scored a power-play goal in Game 1 for Edmonton. He is always finding a way to bury the puck in the back of the net as of late for this hockey team. Draisaitl continues to make an impact.
Mike Smith made 31 saves in Game 1 for the Oilers. He was alright for them but made some boneheaded mistakes including giving up the puck on the game-winning goal in the third period. Smith might be on the bench in Game 2 and Mikko Koskinen might be getting the start in net for this hockey team.
