#3/4 ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON Over 6 Goals - Edmonton Oilers vs Nashville Predators, Wednesday at 8:30 PM ET – The Predators have been without David Rittich and #1 goalie Juuse Saros played last night. That means rookie Connor Ingram could be called upon here. He was successful in his first ever NHL start but the Predators gave up him a 3-0 lead and is much easier, as a goalie, to play with a lead like that. Tonight Ingram, or whoever gets the call for Nashville here, is unlikely to enjoy such a huge early lead and this situation has the makings of a very high-scoring game. The Preds have won 4 straight games and have averaged 3.2 goals per game in regulation time of last 5 games and should score well again here as Edmonton has allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 3 home games. The Oilers production in the offensive zone has been the key to their success as Edmonton is 7-1 this season and has scored an average of 4.1 goals per game in regulation time of their 8 games this season. This total is a 6 and 6 of the Oilers last 7 games have totaled at least 6 goals. The Oilers have the #1 power play numbers so far this season with a 46.2% success rate and the Predators power play has also been very strong at 25%. The Nashville penalty kill has not been so strong this season either and the Oilers can take advantage in this tough back to back spot for the Preds. As you can see, plenty of reasons to expect good goal-scoring from both clubs in this one! Take the OVER here
