The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7-game series between the Oilers and the Golden Knights for the 2nd round of the NHL Western Conference playoffs. The Golden Knights are entering this game with a 2-1 series lead after stealing back a road game in game 3 of this series. This series has been back and forth as the Golden Knights responded to their 5-1 loss at home in game 2 with a 5-1 win on the road in game 3, but the Oilers are definitely going to have another response in this game now that they are down in the series. Their offense was very quiet in game 3 but this is an offense that has been really hot in the playoffs and over the last few weeks coming into the playoffs so they are going to bounce back with a much better performance on home ice and score some goals in this game. The Golden Knights are also dealing with another injury to one of their goalies leaving them even thinner at the position than they already were and the Oilers will be able to take advantage of that with an offensive explosion that will carry them to a win in game 4. The Oilers were already in this position down 2-1 against the Kings in the 1st round so they will dig in deep here and throw everything they have at the Golden Knights to even up this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game and on the puckline as they will even up the series 2-2 here.

“We’ve used a lot of different guys at this position. They’ve all played well. That’s the good part for us. We know the guy going in there is going to make some timely saves. We don’t rely on him to win games for us. It might have to happen here or there, but in general we have tried to play well in front of our goaltender no matter who is in there.” - Bruce Cassidy on his team’s goaltending situation after his team’s win against the Oilers in their game on Monday, game 3 of this series.

“I just didn’t think we were sharp. I don’t think we skated well. I don’t think our battle level was where it needed to be. ... Our team wasn’t good in any area tonight.” - Jay Woodcroft after his team’s loss against the Golden Knights in their game on Monday, game 3 of this series.
