The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Oilers have looked great in their games this season with their 11-2-2 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West. They have been a great road team too with their 7-0-0 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Devils have looked good in their games this season with their 9-5-0 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the East. They have looked good on home ice too with their 6-2-0 home record this season. The Devils are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and they have been rolling lately. They are coming off a 5-2 road win over the Golden Knights in their last one and they haven't played since Friday, so they are going to be well rested. They have also looked a lot better on home ice this season and they have looked even better since making a big move to acquire Hellebuyck from the Jets. They are running into a really hot team though. The Oilers are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and they have also been rolling lately. They are coming off a 4-1 road win over the Rangers in their last one and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now. The coaching change has worked wonders for them as they have looked like the best team in the NHL lately. Their offense has been rolling with one of the best in the league, Connor McDavid being on a historic pace to start the season, and even their defense has improved on this run. They haven't been giving up a ton of goals lately and they may have found their answer in net with a new goaltender. The Oilers are still undefeated in their road games this season and this is great value for a team that is playing like one of the best teams in the NHL and has the talent to win it all. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

"That's your job as a leader to get us started on time. He started on time and obviously set us up for success." - Mike Babcock after his team’s win against the Rangers in their game on Sunday.

“We’re developing great confidence around here in our ability. We had to refocus and get ready for here (after the Colorado loss). It was another really good team. The guys responded the way we wanted. In terms of playing with a lead, it’s probably the best third period we’ve had in the season. We couldn’t ask for more in terms of the response.” - Sheldon Keefe after his team’s win against the Golden Knights in their game on Friday.
