Command Analysis

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form
Vegas continues to delight fans with successful results, and the winning streak has already reached six matches in a row, and all of them ended in regular time. The team played a series of away matches, which they started away from Minnesota, leaving no chance for their opponent, defeating him with a score of 5:1. Striker Aikel showed a great game, scoring a hat-trick. Strangely enough, it turned out to be more difficult for the knights to consolidate their success. In a duel with a clear outsider in the face of Chicago, there were minor defensive problems, and only four minutes before the final whistle they managed to take the lead, eventually winning (5:3).
Continuing to play on the road, the Golden Knights faced Nashville, which was not in the best shape. The team easily took advantage of their competitor's weakness, scoring two more points (3:1). Once again, goalkeeper Hill confidently coped with his task, reflecting 96% of shots.

Edmonton Oilers

Current form

The Oilers showed a very active game in attack, but had problems with the implementation of the moments. It wasn't until the end of the game that the team started scoring goals, but it was too late. Next, the oilmen went to visit Seattle, where they were completely defeated by the outsider (1-6). Goalkeeper Picard had to be replaced at the beginning of the third period after missing five goals.
However, after returning to their ice, the team partially rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, snatching a heavy victory from Calgary in overtime (3:2). Moreover, they managed to equalize the score just three minutes before the final whistle. Due to the recession, the club began to lose ground in the Western Conference table and has already dropped to sixth place, with 89 points.

1.50Tip and bets
Vegas has returned to its home arena, where, with the support of the fans, it should be able to handle Edmonton without any problems. The Golden Knights are already in great shape, and the home arena will add extra confidence in their abilities. Edmonton has recently begun to yield even to obvious outsiders, so you definitely shouldn't believe in its success. It is especially noteworthy that the team performs terribly on the road, where they often lose points. It's also worth noting that the Oilers have serious roster issues.
Our prediction is a Vegas win in 2.04
Bet on the total
It is expected that the upcoming match will be productive, for which there are several reasons at once. Firstly, both clubs mainly rely on the attacking line and are among the most productive in the league. Secondly, do not forget Edmonton's defensive problems. So there is a great opportunity to choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.70
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vegas, due to the advantage of the home walls, is quite capable of creating serious problems for Edmonton at the beginning of the match. The Golden Knights should take advantage of the opponent's slump and seize the upper hand at the end of the opening stretch.
Prediction - Vegas wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.65
