#15/16 ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 6.5 Goals - Edmonton Oilers at Detroit Red Wings, Tuesday at 7:30 PM ET – The Oilers are off of a 6-5 OT win over the Rangers and that means 7 of their last 9 games have totaled at least 7 goals. Edmonton has such a dynamic offense as evidenced by the fact they themselves have scored at least 5 goals in 7 of last 9 games! That said, it may not take much from the home team Red Wings in terms of goal production to get this over the total. However, we actually can expect plenty from Detroit as they have been quite scrappy of late plus the Oilers have allowed an average of 3 goals per game last 8 games. The Red Wings have scored an average of 3.3 goals per game when on home ice this season and have earned at least a point in 4 of those 6 games. Entering this game off B2B wins, Detroit is playing with confidence but so too are the red hot Oilers. That said, this is the type of match-up that tends to lead to plenty of goals and with the Oilers starting the unproven Stuart Skinner in goal, we like our chances. The 23 year old has only one career NHL start and that was last season and he allowed 5 goals in that one. He could struggle a bit but should have plenty of goal support here from the high-flying Oilers. As you can see, plenty of reasons to expect good goal-scoring from both clubs in this one!
