Edmonton's Goaltending Issues
Despite winning the first six games of the postseason with backup Calvin Pickard in net, the Oilers are back to starting Stuart Skinner. Although Pickard wasn't available for Game 3, he still hasn't taken the ice for Game 4. Skinner, in the three games he's started, has given up an alarming 15 goals.
The heartbreaking ending to Game 3 is sure to linger if the Oilers can't recover quickly. They also led 2-0 in Game 3, but couldn't hold on, giving Vegas new life in this series. In the series so far, the Knights have scored five power-play goals and the Oilers just one. Captain Mark Stone left Game 3 early with an upper-body injury, but he appears set to play in this pivotal Game 4.
Golden Knights vs Oilers Battle History and Playoff Rankings
The Golden Knights haven't been as prolific in scoring as they were in the regular season, but their strong special teams have made up for it. The Oilers lead the league in scoring at 4.33 goals per game, thanks in large part to their incredibly effective power play. However, their penalty kill has been poor, ranking last among postseason teams.
Game 4 Prediction
Skinner's struggles in net this postseason have led me to think the game will have seven goals or more. That's occurred in seven out of nine Oilers' postseason games so far, with Skinner surrendering 15 goals in only three starts, all of which have led to Oilers losses. In all nine Vegas playoff contests, at least five total goals have been scored, with five of them going over the 7-goal total.
As for a player prop bet for this game, I'm taking Jack Eichel to get more than one point (+175). He's currently on a six-game point streak and has two or more points in three of his last five battles. I'm expecting an open, run-and-gun style of play, which should help Eichel get a pair of points.
