Connor McDavid looks to maintain his lead in the NHL scoring race, and I’m predicting another big night on the score sheet for the Edmonton captain in my Oilers vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks below.

Oilers vs Golden Knights prediction

Oilers vs Golden Knights best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (-110)

Tonight’s game is a big one for Connor McDavid, who looks to protect his lead as the NHL’s scoring leader and help his Edmonton Oilers get closer to the top spot in the Pacific.

McDavid enters Sunday on a six-game point streak, with Over 1.5 points in four of his last five outings. The Oilers captain has been a multi-point machine, co-leading the NHL with 34 two-point games in 63 appearances.

Edmonton is averaging 4.67 gpg over its past six games, so McDavid will have plenty of chances to find the score sheet.

Oilers vs Golden Knights same-game parlay

Leon Draisaitl has found the back of the net in three of his last four games and six of his last nine. He’s also done well against Vegas, scoring eight times in his last 12 meetings vs. the Vegas Golden Knights.

Vegas has lost four of its last five and is without captain Mark Stone. McDavid and Draisaitl will lead the Oilers to a win tonight.
