The Edmonton Oilers staged a comeback to win Game 1, and it looked like they might do the same when Josh Samanski scored to tie the game in the latter half of the third period in Game 2. However, Cutter Gauthier gave the Anaheim Ducks a 5-4 lead with just under five minutes to play, and Ryan Poehling hit the empty net to secure the win.<\/p>\n

The series now shifts to Anaheim, and going on the road has not been a good thing for the Oilers this season.<\/p>\n

Here are the odds, starting goalies, how to watch, and predictions for Oilers vs. Ducks in Game 3 on Friday, April 24.<\/p>\n

This was one of my favorite props to bet for a stretch of the regular season, and Jackson LaCombe is showing why in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The defenseman has four assists through two games, including three in the Game 2 win. He had 48 assists in the regular season, 27 of which came at home, and he had 20 assists in 28 games since the start of February.<\/p>\n

The oddsmakers see this as being another high-scoring game, so I\u2019ll happily take these plus odds for LaCombe to pick up an apple.<\/p>\n

Oilers vs. Ducks Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rare you see a total higher than 6.5 in the NHL, let alone the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and this should get there before puck drop.<\/p>\n

However, I\u2019m going the other way and taking the UNDER here.<\/p>\n

The Oilers have playoff experience and are capable of clogging things up to play a more defensive style. That\u2019s something that could frustrate the Ducks and limit Anaheim\u2019s offensive firepower.<\/p>\n

This could end up being another 6-5 type of game, but that\u2019s a bet I\u2019m willing to make at +130 odds.<\/p>\n
