Connor McDavid has made a living out of torching the Ducks, and I expect him to have another big game this afternoon.

Ducks vs Oilers prediction
Ducks vs Oilers best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (-120)

It’s crunch time for the Edmonton Oilers, who are leaning heavily on Connor McDavid down the stretch.

The Oilers’ captain’s posted total is 1.5 points this afternoon, which is exactly the number of points he’s averaging over his last 10 games. That makes -120 a pretty good price for the Over, especially since he’s eclipsed this total in back-to-back games. 

McDavid has also cruised past this total in six of his last seven meetings against the Anaheim Ducks, averaging two points per game over that stretch.

The Oilers have been solid in the second period this season, winning it in 11 of their last 15 games.
