NHL Pick
- Over 6.5 (+120) at Bet365 (visit our Bet365 Review)
Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks
Thursday, May 16, 2024 – 10:00 PM ET at Rogers Arena 
Betting Trends
- Eight of the Oilers’ previous ten games have seen over 6.5 goals scored.
- There’s been an average of 6.7 goals scored in the previous 10 meetings between these teams.
If It Aint Broke, Don’t Fix It
Besides the last game, which featured only five goals during the Edmonton Oilers’ 3-2 win, these two teams have seen goals come freely. These are two of the best attacking teams in the NHL having had the 4th and 6th best offence during the regular season.
Combined, both teams are averaging 6.7 goals per game throughout the playoffs.
The Pick
It’s hard to expect this game to go under the total of 6.5 goals given the offensive power on display, but given the fact that top-rated sportsbooks are being very generous to us, we are even more inclined to bet the over at plus money.
We expected the over 6.5 goals odds to be in around -105. So, to our surprise, we were more than happy to take over 6.5 goals at +120 NHL betting odds.
NHL Pick: Over 6.5 (+120) at Bet365
