Connor McDavid continues to pace the NHL in points, and we expect the Oilers superstar to keep lighting up the stat sheet against Vegas.<\/p>\n

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers have been the Vegas Golden Knights\u2019 kryptonite over the past few years, and I\u2019m expecting another big outing from Edmonton\u2019s captain tonight.<\/p>\n

With massive playoff implications on the line for both teams, here are my free Oilers vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks<\/a> for Saturday, April 4.<\/p>\n

Golden Knights vs Oilers prediction
\nGolden Knights vs Oilers best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (-120)<\/p>\n

The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> are rolling right now, riding a five-game winning streak during which they\u2019ve outscored their opponents 19-8.<\/p>\n

A big part of the team’s success has been Connor McDavid<\/a>, who has compiled 10 points in those five games, including three multi-point nights.<\/p>\n

McDavid has also posted multi-point efforts in three straight games against the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>, including a three-point outing last week on March 26.<\/p>\n

Vegas’ goaltending has been struggling lately as well, posting a measly .863 save percentage over their last five games.<\/p>\n

Evan Bouchard<\/a> 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\u2019s also registered 1+ assists in 15 of his last 19 games.<\/p>\n

For my final leg, I\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n
