As the playoffs intensify, the Edmonton Oilers face off against the Vegas Golden Knights in a crucial Game 4 set to take place on May 12, 2025. After a thrilling overtime win in Game 2, the Oilers aim to even the series at their home ground, Rogers Place.

In their recent matchup, the Golden Knights secured a narrow victory with a score of 4-3 in Game 3. The odds position the Oilers as slight favorites at -120, while the Golden Knights are seen as underdogs at +100. The total goals line is set at 6.5, with the Oilers placing a -1.5 (+191) on the puck line.

The SportsLine Projection Model, which has simulated this playoff scenario 10,000 times, recommends taking the Golden Knights +1.5, given the competitive nature of the previous encounters. Only one goal decided three of the last four matchups between these teams, primarily in the third period or later.

Additionally, a prop bet of under 0.5 goals in the first 10 minutes is promising, as neither side has scored in this timeframe throughout the playoff series so far.
