Edmonton Oilers vs New Jersey Devils Prediction: Home team to win a productive encounter

Edmonton Oilers will take on New Jersey Devils on November 4. The meeting is scheduled to start at 04:00. Let’s see how it goes!

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton is slowly getting closer to the chance to fight for the Stanley Cup. Last season the Oilers stopped at the semifinal stage, and now they will try to break through even further. In their regular season debut, the Blue and Orange are looking very decent and trying to get the highest possible seeding. Yes, they won only twice in their first five meetings, but then they won five straight, and Jay Woodcroft's men have been beating their opponents more and more. That surge helped Edmonton jump into second place in the West standings.

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey made an extremely nice impression in their regular season debut. In recent years we'd already forgotten that the Devils are capable of contending for a playoff spot, but this season they've looked very potent. That said, it began for the Red and Black with losses to Philadelphia and Detroit, each by a score of 2-5, but then they picked up sharply. In the next eight meetings Lindy Ruff's men gained seven victories, and each time in the main time that allowed them to get to the third place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

The teams are approaching the encounter in great shape. The Oilers have five wins in a row and the Devils have not lost in four matches. Meanwhile, the Canadians are the clear favorites in this pairing, who will have the home ice advantage, and three of the last four face-offs saw them win. Based on this, we are forced to bet on Edmonton's win at odds of about 2.05 at 1xbet.

Edmonton and New Jersey are not only constantly winning, but also productive offensively. The Oilers have scored 22 goals in the past five games (4.40 average per game) and the Devils have scored 19 goals in the past four games (4.75 average per game). In such a situation, it is worth looking at a bet on Total Over 6.5 pucks with odds close to 1.60 at Betway, and separately you can bet on Zach Hyman's TO (0.5) for 1.62 at Bet365.
