Vegas vs Edmonton Prediction: the Opponents to Reach the Total Over

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers match, which will take place on January 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vegas is currently the Western Conference leader. In 43 games, the Knights have earned 58 points, posting 28 wins and 15 losses, two of which were outside of regular time. Vegas shouldn't relax, however, as second Winnipeg is breathing right down its neck, trailing by one point. They approach the game against Edmonton after a 1-5 defeat to Los Angeles and a 4-2 win over Florida.

Edmonton has two leaders in the lineup, only eight in the Western Conference standings. McDavid and Draisaitl are carrying the team on their shoulders. Connor is currently first on the scoring chart with 82 points (37 goals and 45 assists), and Leon is second with 66 points (24 goals and 42 assists). In the last two games, the Oilers beat Anaheim by four pucks and then San Jose by six.

• Edmonton is averaging 3.64 goals per game.
• Vegas has won four of the last five matches.

Vegas is the favorite, but we all know what McDavid and Draisaitl are capable of. If they take to the ice in great shape, the odds of the Golden Knights winning will be greatly diminished. Both teams are showing great offense this campaign. Thus, Vegas averages 3.35 points per game, while the Oilers - 3.64. We think the opponents will have no problem breaking the total over.
