Recommended Bets for Oilers vs. Golden Knights Game 4:
Vegas Golden Knights +1.5 (-227)
The model anticipates this game will be tightly contested, similar to Games 2 and 3, both of which were decided by one goal. Historically, three of the last four meetings between these teams, including regular-season games, have concluded with a one-goal difference, often settled in the third period or later. According to the SportsLine model`s simulations, the Golden Knights are projected to cover the +1.5 puck line in over 70% of scenarios.
Under 0.5 goals in the first 10 minutes (+140)
Neither team has managed to score in the opening 10 minutes of any game in this playoff series to date. The last time a goal was scored by either team within the first 10 minutes against each other was on December 14, 2024, during a regular-season game in Edmonton, when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored early in an Oilers` win.
Evander Kane over 2.5 shots on goal (+120)
Although Evander Kane`s physicality has been a notable aspect of this playoff series, he has also been active in generating scoring opportunities. He has registered a total of 44 shot attempts and 20 shots on goal throughout the playoffs. Kane has surpassed the 2.5 shots on goal mark in four out of his eight games played this postseason.
