Oilers vs Sharks Free Pick February 27, 2018 – Jesse Schule

This is a 5* play on Southampton.

Arsenal was knocked out of the FA Cup losing 1-0 to Southapmton over the weekend, and Aubameyang did not play due to personal reasons. Southampton has the fourth best home record in the Premier League, earning points in six of nine home games. They have also earned points in three of their last four matches against Arsenal. This looks like a pretty even matchup, and a draw would be no surprise here. These two teams are separated by just two points in the table, and by just one goal in goal differential.

This is an 8* play on the Under.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have averaged just 57 points per game in their last four, and they are 2-2 during that span. They are excellent on defense, holding opponents to fewer than 63 points per game this season. The Temple Owls know a thing or two about playing defense, and we can expect a real defensive battle here in Philly. The under is 8-2 in the Owls last 10 overall, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last six home games. The Owls have gone under in seven of their last eight versus teams with a winning record.

This is a 6* play on the Kings +1.5.

The Kings have lost four of their first six games, but three of those four losses came by just one goal. They come into Minnesota as winners of two of their last three, and these two teams have a history of playing close games. The last two meetings each went to overtime, and five of the last 10 meetings were decided in overtime or shootout. The Wild are just 3-7 in their last 10 home games, and asking them to cover the puckline seems like a tough ask.

This is an 8* play on the Jets.

I bet on the Jets in their last game against Ottawa, and I can't pass up on betting Winnipeg as a home dog versus the Oilers. Here is what I said prior to their win over the Jets: "The Jets are coming off back to back wins in Ottawa, and they return home for a third consecutive game against the Senators. The Sens have struggled against the Jets dating back the last few years. The Jets have won eight of the last 10 head to head meetings. The Senators are 11-40 in their last 51 games as a road underdog, and they have lost six straight in the second game of a home and home series. Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina winner, and he looked sharp in a 4-1 win over the Senators in his last start. He is expected to be back between the pipes Saturday."

This is an 8* play on the Sharks +1.5.

The Sharks will be a big underdog on the road at Colorado tonight, despite the fact that both these teams have won three of their first six games. These two teams have a history of playing close games, with four of the last five head to head meetings decided by just one goal. Colorado has three wins, but two of those came by just one goal. There is no doubt that the Avs deserve to be the favorite here, but covering the puckline seems to be asking a lot.
