Stanley Cup Playoffs Betting Preview: Ducks vs Oilers<\/p>\n
The Anaheim Ducks (43-33-6, 19-20-2 on the road) take on the Edmonton Oilers (41-30-11, 22-14-5 at home) at Rogers Place in Game 1 of this first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series.<\/p>\n
Oilers to Get the Job Done<\/p>\n
The prediction is that the Oilers will have the edge over the Ducks in regulation time, with odds of -115 currently available on the 3-Way Moneyline. That looks a price worth taking on this value selection.<\/p>\n
Both Teams Coming Off Wins<\/p>\n
The Anaheim Ducks enter the playoffs off a 5-4 road win over the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. Jackson LaCombe was one of five different players on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n
The Edmonton Oilers picked up a 6-1 home win over the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place last time out. Matt Savoie scored the first hat trick of his NHL career, while Connor McDavid recorded four points, all assists.<\/p>\n
Head-to-Head Statistics<\/p>\n
The Oil won the last head-to-head meeting, beating the Ducks 4-2 at Rogers Place. Edmonton has won six of the last 10 matchups between the teams.<\/p>\n
