ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Edmonton Oilers Money Line +105 over Toronto Maple Leafs at 7 PM ET - Edmonton has won 5 straight games and 11 of last 13. No one has questioned the firepower of the Oilers coming into this season but the concern was always the goaltending. However, ever since Mike Smith came back Edmonton has been getting a lot of strong play in the crease. Even Mikko Koskinen has come up with some big starts too. The Oilers have allowed just 1.3 goals per game in their last 9 victories. It use to be the only way that Edmonton won games was 4-3 or 5-4 type high-scoring affairs but the Oilers are really on top of their game now. That being said, and with this being a 1-2 battle at the top of the North Division, we love the line value being offered to the home dog. Toronto has a great record this but, prior their tight 2-1 OT win versus Calgary (scored late to force OT) the Leafs had lost 3 of last 6 games. The Oilers are absolutely the hotter team right now and worthy of a strong play as a home dog in this spot. Edmonton is a different team than the one the Leafs faced back in January and the teams split those 4 games. Now the home team is playing even stronger and takes the season series edge with a win here per our computer math model. Take the OILERS
