(NHL) Edmonton vs. Toronto,
Total: 6.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Leafs UNDER.

I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs Toronto Maple Leafs game on Wednesday. The Oilers have not been scoring goals since the beginning of the new year, they have played in 2 games in January and both of those games went under with exactly 5 goals total in each of those. The Oilers have not scored 3+ goals in those 2 games either and they have only scored 3+ goals in 1 of their 4 games since coming back from the Christmas break. They also haven't won a game since before the break and they haven't really looked good in their games lately. Connor McDavid tested positive for covid yesterday too so he will not be playing in this game but he is not the only player, there are a few other key players on the Oilers offense who will not be available for this game and I don't think that is going to be the last either now that covid has hit there team it will probably run through a few of their players. The Leafs are pretty healthy for this game, the only player that is banged up is Matthews and he may not play but even if he does I don't think he will be contributing a lot of offense here. The Leafs have only played 1 game since December 14th and that was a 6-0 rout of the Senators on January 1st. Their offense looked great in that game but the Sens are not a great team and I expect them to have more trouble scoring on the Oilers here. I also think they are going to be a little rusty and sluggish after not really playing a game for over 2 weeks and then just jumping back in with 1 game 4 days ago. Their defense has looked great too and they have only given up 1 goal in their 2 most recent games. With the Oilers missing a lot of key forwards here I expect them to play better defense since the Leafs are a strong offensive team. The Leafs have also been great on defense lately and I don't think the Oilers will score much on them with their offense already underperforming lately and will now be missing players that they had in those games. I think this is going to be a low scoring game so I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Leafs.
