The Vegas Golden Knights, leading the Pacific Division, face the Edmonton Oilers, who are favored despite being fourth in the division. The Knights have struggled recently, losing two of their last three games, while the Oilers have won three straight. This matchup highlights the oddities in betting lines, especially with the Golden Knights missing their captain, Mark Stone.

Historically, home underdogs have had success against top teams, covering the spread in 68.4% of such games this season. With the Golden Knights' home performance and the Oilers' mixed results as road favorites, the betting landscape is intriguing. Key player statuses, especially for the Oilers, could influence the game dynamics.
