Analysis
Our 20* NHL Monday Vegas Jackpot is on Edmonton with the money line versus Washington at 8:37 pm et. The Edmonton Oilers are heating up with four victories in their last five games. They come off a 5-3 victory at home against Montreal on Saturday. The Oilers' offensive attack behind Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leads the way for a group that has scored four or more goals in four of their last five games. Edmonton is engaging in high-scoring affairs with five straight games that have finished over the number. Yet the Oilers have won nine of their last ten games after playing four overs in a row, and they have won four straight games after playing five overs in a row. They stay at home where they are averaging 3.7 goals per game. They have won twenty-five of their last thirty-six games on home ice. They have beaten twenty-four of their last thirty-one games against teams who are not winning 40% or more of their games. The acquisition of goaltender Jack Campbell has not worked out yet this year, and backup Stuart Skinner has been the better netminder this season. Skinner is their goaltender tonight with a 2.68 goals-against average in seven home games with a .919 save percentage. The Oilers will be motivated to avenge a 5-4 loss in Washington on November 7th. Edmonton has won six of their last eight games when they are attempting to avenge a loss, and they have won seventeen of their last twenty-two games when playing with revenge from a loss by more than one goal. Washington has lost two in a row, three of four, and seven of their last ten games after a 5-2 loss at Calgary on Saturday. The Capitals are hit hard with injuries with Nicklas Backstrom, Tom Wilson, Connor Brown, and Carl Hagelin all on the shelf. Alex Ovechkin continues his march for 800 career goals, yet this team has the look of a group that is over the hill. They have only won twice in their last seven games after losing three of their last four games. They have won twice in their last nine games after playing a game that finished over the number. They play their fifth game of a six-game road trip tonight having won only five times in their last twenty-one games away from home. They have won three of their last fourteen games on the road when the oddsmakers install the over/under at 6 or higher. Washington is averaging only 2.5 goals per game on the road yet they are allowing 3.5 goals away from home. The grind of the road gets to this team as well. They have won only once in their last seven games after being on the road for two games in a row, and they are winless in their last four games after being on the road for three games in a row. Against winning teams, the Capitals have won just eight times in their last twenty-eight games. Charlie Lindgren is their goaltender tonight. He has a 3.53 goals-against average and a .890 save percentage in six games on the road. Washington has only beaten the Oilers one time in their last visits to Edmonton. Play Edmonton with the money line. Good luck - Team Del Genio.
