Connor McDavid anytime goal scorer | – 120 at bet365

The Oilers captain has 150 points (44 goals, 106 assists) in 97 career playoff games, including 75 (15 goals, 60 assists) in the last two playoffs. While he’s primarily a playmaker, he did score 48 goals this season, including five in his final four games.
McDavid has the shortest anytime goal scorer odds on either team and, considering how quiet he was in Game 1, he’s a good pick to find the back of the net for an Oilers vs. Ducks SGP.
Oilers -0.5 spread 1st period | +130 at bet365
This Oilers vs. Ducks same game parlay is relying heavily on a big game from McDavid. Expect the Hart Trophy candidate to come out flying after a quiet Game 1, pacing the Oilers to another hot start in Game 2.
Edmonton has a tendency to start well on home ice, especially in the playoffs, before allowing their opponents back in the game. They had the first period lead in five of seven games in last year’s playoffs before running into the Florida Panthers in last year’s Stanley Cup Finals.
Over 6.5 goals | -150 at bet365
Plenty of goals and average goaltending has been the Oilers’ playbook for several years now – and it has gotten them within inches of the Stanley Cup. With the Tristan Jarry experiment being a clear failure, the Oilers are relying on 29-year-old journeyman Connor Ingram.
Ingram was better than Jarry, but still had a sub-900 save percentage in 32 NHL games. His 4.04 GAA and .856 save percentage in 11 AHL games doesn’t inspire much confidence either.
Sixteen of the Oilers 22 playoff games last year went over the 6.5 total. Edmonton was sixth in goals per game in the regular season and the Ducks were 13th.
