The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Oilers have looked really good in their games this season with their 33-18-1 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the West and fighting to keep their playoff spot. They have looked really good on home ice this season with their 17-8-1 home record. Meanwhile, the Bruins have also looked great in their games this season with their 33-12-11 record overall which has them leading their division in the East at the moment with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also been a good road team with their 15-5-6 road record, but lately they haven't looked as good in their games. They are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and a lot of those losses have been on this side of the NHL All-Star break as they haven't been at their best lately. The Oilers have been much hotter in their games as they are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and just rolled the Coyotes 6-3 in their last game too. Now the Bruins have to travel out West to face a hot Oilers team when they haven't been at their best lately with a lot of games on their home ice too. The Oilers have more momentum right now and are starting to get hot again, they will continue to roll here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.
