NHL Best Bet: Calgary vs Edmonton, Thursday May 26th

The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from an appearance in the Western Conference Finals but the line setters are trying to tell us that this series is not quite over yet. Well, our resident NHL expert Ej Garr is busy today because you can get plays for both games being played tonight. Wait, is Ej feeling frisky and offering a brace with two plus-money offers for game 5 in Calgary? Yes, he is!

That’s right, so you can go into the NHL area and find a 3.40 offer for the other NHL game being played tonight in Carolina, and now you have another pair of plus-money offers coming your way. 

First of all, who thought that the Flames should be favoured after seeing how the last 3 games have played out? One’s made of skin and one’s made of wood so who’s the dummy? Thank you, I’ll be here all week for you ventriloquism enthusiasts with a good sense of humor!

Alright, seriously, now you know you cashed the Evander Kane to score prop from game 4 at 2.62 because I gave it to you right here. So, in classic Ej fashion, I am deciding to offer you a pair of tips to make good use of for game 5 tonight in Calgary.

First of all, as I said I cannot even get why Calgary is going to get people to drink all of that juice at 1.65 because that is just insulting. How many people in the Oilers locker room got wind of the fact that the line setters are telling them they can’t win tonight?

Hold on, what? We can’t what? What did I talk about for the other games I have covered in this series? Consistency! The Oilers have it and they don’t stop shooting pucks at the frame until a handful of goals are on the board. You would think that because the series is close in scoring that the games wouldn’t have been as lopsided as they are.

The Oilers have only outscored the Flames 20 – 16 through these 4 games played but Calgary dumped 9 on Edmonton in game 1 and have barely found the net since. Edmonton has doubled the output of Le Flame over the last 3 affairs, 14 – 7, and now the oddsmakers think Calgary can suddenly adjust and get back on track?

Yeah, no! IT’S OVER! Edmonton is wrapping this puppy up tonight and they will find their way to another 4-goal effort. What’s nice about that is the Oilers Team Total O/U is listed at 3.5 and then the line to expect goals, baby! Hello, 2.36! From my view of Pinnacle Sportsbook, they are giving us quite a price on that and the Oilers to just win the game outright. 

The Oilers show a similar 2.36 to win the game on that moneyline which means even if Le Flame extends the match to overtime, we just need the Oilers to clinch the series tonight at any end so we can cash multiple tickets tonight.  

• Selection: Oilers to Win (OT Incl) & TT Over 3.5
• Best odds: 2.38 & 2.50 (Marathonbet/William Hill)
• Stakes 4/10 Each
