The Edmonton Oilers are looking very comfortable in this series now that they have a 3-1 lead and can end it all tonight on home ice.

They proved last time out how strong they can be in the playoffs with a rare but hard-fought 1-0 victory on the road, tonight we expect the goals to flow.

NHL Pick: Zach Hyman Anytime Goalscorer (+120) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)


Los Angeles Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers

Wednesday, May 01, 2024 – 10:00 PM ET at Rogers Place


Betting Trends

  • Zach Hyman ended the regular season as the Oilers’ top goalscorer with 54 goals (3rd most in NHL).
  • Hyman has scored 3/1/2/0 goals in his first four playoff games this season.

Hyman and Co Can Make Goals Flow

Having racked up 7/4 and 6 goals in the first three games prior to their solid 1-0 win last time out, we expect more goals to flow tonight, especially with it being on home ice and the Kings in a win-or-go-home situation.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have picked up where they left off in the regular season with 18 combined points in just four games played.

The Pick

Zach Hyman has been a goalscoring machine, but failed to get on the scoresheet last time out, but back on home ice we believe he will get back on the board and we like his odds to do so at +120 NHL betting odds.

Hyman scored 4 of his 6 playoff goals on home ice and he should get plenty of chances to do so tonight, we would bet this down to as low as +110.
