Expert Betting Tips
Edmonton know how to prepare for games against teams led by superstar forwards. For Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, they're principled rivals. That makes the recent overtime loss to Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks all the more frustrating. For the second time in a row, the Oilers won't let that happen.
Prediction: McDavid will beat Ovechkin in a high-scoring matchup.
