LiontipsEdmonton vs San Jose. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 29, 2022).
Command Analysis
Edmonton are in fantastic form. They haven't had many losing streaks this season. Recently, they lost to Columbus (2:5), but then immediately bounced back and crushed Pittsburgh (5:1). The Oilers will play the last two games of the regular season at home and will strive to deliver their best performance. Connor McDavid is currently the top scorer in the NHL; he has chalked up 122 points since the start of the season.
San Jose are in 12th place in the Western Conference and will most likely finish the season in this position. In the last games, the Sharks looked decent. They beat Chicago (4:1) and Vegas (5:4 SO), but then suffered a defeat to Anaheim (2:5). The Sharks won only ten away games in regulation this season. Erik Karlsson, one of the team's best defencemen, is out injured.

Tip and bets
Edmonton are the clear favorites in this game. The Oilers always look solid at home and rarely lose to outsiders. The teams have met three times this season, and every time Edmonton came away with a win.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) to Edmonton
In most of their previous head-to-head games, the teams scored over six goals. The Sharks concede a lot, and the Oilers also often make mistakes on the defensive, so we suggest taking the over.
Second bet - total over 6.5 goals
