T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers.

I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Oilers have finally started to look a lot better in their games lately. They were on a huge losing streak and were really struggling to win games with a lot of injuries and even a few covid cases on their team but they have been getting healthy and have looked a lot better lately. I think they can win this game since they have been getting very hot leading up to the All Star break. They have 1 loss in their previous 6 games and they went into the All Star break with a win in their most recent game. They have been scoring a lot of goals again in their games and have scored 3+ in all of those wins. They will need that offense against Vegas who can also score a lot of goals in their games but I think the Oilers are going to outscore them here on their home ice. The Golden Knights have won 2 games in a row but they have even struggled to win both of those games. They won their most recent game over the Sabres but they had to go to a shootout to beat the Lightning right before that game and they had also lost 2 in a row before those 2 wins. The All Star game was also in Vegas this year and their previous game was at home so they have been relaxing at home for over a week now. I think the long layoff, coupled with the travel to Canada where players don't like to come because of the covid restrictions, is going to hurt Vegas in this game and I think the Oilers can get the win here and continue their hot streak lately. The Oilers were only struggling because of their missing players but now that they are almost at full strength again they should get back on track and win more games now. They are also getting 1 of their goalies back for this game too since they have been playing with their 3rd string. I like the Oilers to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers.
