Connor McDavid indicated before the season he\u2019d like to be more of a scoring threat, and he has kept true to his word, potting 30 goals in 50 games.<\/p>\n
My Devils vs. Oilers predictions expect him to find the back of the net against an inconsistent New Jersey team playing in a road back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive into my NHL picks<\/a> for Tuesday, January 20.<\/p>\n Devils vs Oilers prediction<\/p>\n Devils vs Oilers best bet: Connor McDavid anytime goal (+100)<\/p>\n Connor McDavid<\/a> has gone absolutely bananas the last two and a half months, piling up 27 goals over 36 games since November 4. Only Nathan MacKinnon (28) has more.<\/p>\n No. 97\u2019s scoring spree is no fluke. He has generated opportunities like no other player, leading the NHL in expected goals and scoring chances.<\/p>\n He finds himself in a five-game goal drought despite creating 19 scoring chances, more than all but Zach Hyman among the Edmonton Oilers<\/a>. The puck just hasn\u2019t gone in.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n McDavid has a nice matchup to change that tonight. The New Jersey Devils have played at the league\u2019s sixth-highest pace over the last 10 games, which perfectly suits McDavid.<\/p>\n They rank 26th in expected goals against at 5-on-5 and dead last on the kill during that time. Limiting chances has been a challenge, and McDavid is as likely as anybody to take advantage.<\/p>\n Facing Jake Allen could be beneficial as well. He\u2019s had a tough time making big saves of late, ranking 39th among 42 eligible goaltenders in high-danger save percentage since the holiday break.<\/p>\n McDavid sits second in high-danger chances over that time. He should have plenty of chances to exploit Allen\u2019s recent struggles.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Devils vs Oilers same-game parlay<\/p>\n Jake Walman<\/a> has produced at a healthy clip since joining the Oilers, tallying 20 points through 36 regular-season games. He provides some real pop from the backend and was promoted to the No. 1 power-play unit in Leon Draisaitl’s absence.<\/p>\n Jack Roslovic<\/a> is another player benefiting from a larger role without Draisaitl. He logged 16+ in both games thus far, combining for eight attempts while tallying multiple shots on target in each.<\/p>\n Devils vs Oilers SGP<\/p>\n Connor McDavid anytime goal<\/p>\n Jake Walman Over 0.5 points<\/p>\n Jack Roslovic Over 1.5 shots on goal<\/p>\n Devils vs Oilers odds<\/p>\n Moneyline: Devils +145 | Oilers -170<\/p>\n Puck Line: Devils +1.5 (-170) | Oilers -1.5 (+145)<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 6.5 (+105) | Under 6.5 (-125)<\/p>\n Devils vs Oilers trend<\/p>\n Connor McDavid has scored eight goals over his past 10 home games.
