The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> and the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> meet Sunday at Honda Center in Anaheim, California, for Game 4 of their best-of-7, Western Conference first-round playoff series. Puck drop is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze NHL odds around the Oilers vs. Ducks and make our expert NHL picks and predictions<\/a>.<\/p>\n Best-of-7 series: Ducks lead 2-1<\/p>\n The Ducks picked up a 7-4 victory in Game 3 Friday as slight underdogs (+116) as the Over (7) cashed for the third time in as many games. Anaheim had 7 different goal scorers, with C Leo Carlsson credited with the game-winning tally, while he finished with 2 points. D Jackson LaCombe ended up with a goal and an assist, and C Mikael Granlund finished with a power-play goal and 4 points.<\/p>\n For the Oilers, C Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist, while C Leon Draisaitl was good for 2 helpers. D Evan Bouchard also had a pair of assists.<\/p>\n Edmonton is averaging 4.0 goals per game (GPG) on offense, yet it trails 2-1 in the series. Anaheim has scored 5.3 PPG, and it’s no surprise the Over is 3 for 3 in this series.<\/p>\n Watch the NHL on Fubo!<\/a>Oilers at Ducks odds<\/p>\n Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub<\/a> for a full list.

He is on the hot seat after leading his team to a Game 1 victory. Tristan Jarry (18-9-3, 3.32 GAA, .882 SV%, 2 SO) could see his first action of the series if Ingram is given a short leash.<\/p>\n Dostal has allowed 4 goals in each of his 3 starts. Despite a 4.05 GAA and .874 SV% in 3 games in the series, the Anaheim tendy and his team are ahead going into Game 4.<\/p>\n Oilers at Ducks picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n Oilers 5, Ducks 3<\/p>\n BACK EDMONTON (-140) in Game 4, as it looks to level the series before heading back to Alberta for Game 5.<\/p>\n Ingram has not been getting the job done, and he is now on the hot seat. The Oilers have been to the Stanley Cup Final in the past 2 seasons, but they haven’t faced a first-round challenge like this in their recent run, and a big reason for the struggles have been shoddy defense and goaltending.<\/p>\n EDMONTON -1.5 (+165) should be trusted ever so lightly. Don’t get carried away, though.<\/p>\n Dostal has allowed 4 goals in each of the first 3 games of this season, so Edmonton is going to get its fair share of scores. The concern is whether or not Ingram can shut the door, and keep it closed.<\/p>\n OVER 7 (-110) is the lean, but don’t go crazy. A flat 7 is risky business in the playoffs, and scores tend to decrease as a series goes along. But, we’ve had 7, 10 and 11 goals, so the offense has been increasing in each of the games so far.<\/p>\n Eventually we’re going to get some defense and good goaltending, or at least adequate work between the pipes. Until such point, keep slamming the Over.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow @danieledobish<\/a> on\u00a0Twitter\/X.\u00a0Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n
