NHL Contrarian Crusher Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Toronto Maple Leafs vs Edmonton Oilers @ 7:05 ET - I am aware that, although Auston Matthews has been cleared for tonight's game for the Leafs, Connor McDavid did not clear protocols for tonight's game for the Oilers. That has resulted in this total settling in at a 6 instead of a 6.5 and I am happy to grab the additional value here on the over in this one. Look for Edmonton's other skaters to pick up their game knowing McDavid is out tonight. That said, the Oilers should score their fair share of goals in this one. The big issue for Edmonton has been keeping the puck out of their own net. The Oilers have lost 10 of last 12 games thanks in large part to allowing an average of about 4 goals per game during this stretch. Edmonton is off a 4-1 loss to the Rangers but did score an average of about 4 goals per game in the 5 games before that ugly defeat. The Maple Leafs have won 9 of 12 games and, incredibly, they have scored an average of about 5 goals per game their last 11 games! You can see why a 5-4 game here would not be shocking at all and also why a 4-3 type game appears likely at the least. Look for a 4-3 or 5-3 final in this one. 10* OVER 6 in Toronto
