The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Oilers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 6-6-1 record overall which has them lower in their division in the West to start the season. They got off to a terrible start to the season, but they have looked a lot better in their games lately and have been playing well. They are coming off a 3-0 loss to the Devils in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back on home ice and respond after getting shut out in that game. Meanwhile, the Knights have looked really good in their games this season with their 8-3-1 record overall which leads their division in the West at the moment. They have been really hot to start the year, but lately they haven't looked as good and have really struggled on the road this season. They are coming off a 4-3 win over Utah in their last one, but they needed OT to win that game at home. Now they will be on the road where they haven't won a game this season, going 0-3-1 in their road games. The Oilers already have the edge in this one with the way the Knights have played on the road this season, and the Oilers will be looking to bounce back from a bad loss on home ice that they were shut out in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

"Anytime something like that happens, you had a good balance, I think you kind of get into the flow of the game. I think for me, that's the game I've been trying to get through for a while, just getting up in the play, using my skating ability. And when I do that I can try to open up some other things for other players. We don't want to be defending too much. So just got to keep building off that game." - Noah Hanifin on how he has been approaching games this season.

“A lot of the metrics are pretty good on the penalty kill side of it, on zone denials, shots from the slot, preventing. It's just some mistakes and they're going in. Tonight, one mistake, it went in.” - Kris Knoblauch on his team’s penalty kill this season.
