Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers have been the Vegas Golden Knights’ kryptonite over the past few years, and I’m expecting another big outing from Edmonton’s captain tonight.

With massive playoff implications on the line for both teams, here are my free Oilers vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks for Saturday, April 4.
Golden Knights vs Oilers predictionGolden Knights vs Oilers best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (-120)
The Edmonton Oilers are rolling right now, riding a five-game winning streak during which they’ve outscored their opponents 19-8.
A big part of the team’s success has been Connor McDavid, who has compiled 10 points in those five games, including three multi-point nights.
McDavid has also posted multi-point efforts in three straight games against the Vegas Golden Knights, including a three-point outing last week on March 26.

Vegas’ goaltending has been struggling lately as well, posting a measly .863 save percentage over their last five games.
Golden Knights vs Oilers same-game parlay
Evan Bouchard to get an assist is an SGP staple at this point. The Oilers’ blueliner leads all NHL defensemen with 87 points, 67 of which are assists. He’s also registered 1+ assists in 15 of his last 19 games.
For my final leg, I’ll take the Oilers on the money line. Edmonton has won five straight meetings against Vegas and nine of the last 10 between these two clubs.
