I had the UNDER in Thursday’s game between these teams, and it cashed with Utah winning 4-2 at Edmonton. Edmonton’s games average 7.6 total goals, second-highest in the league. Two games against Vancouver totaled 11 and 16. In its other five games, the totals were 4, 7, 4, 5 and 6, and the Oilers have put 24 or fewer shots on net in each of their last four. Zach Hyman is set to return after missing six games, and all four of those low-shot games came without him. Edmonton puts 24.9 shots on net per game, ninth-fewest in the league. Utah’s power play has scored on 12 of 32 chances, first in the league, and Edmonton’s penalty kill is 28th of 32, with seven goals allowed on 22 chances. Utah allows 2.6 goals a game and 23.1 shots a game, the second-fewest in the league, and it has held six of its eight opponents to 24 shots or fewer, so the UNDER is the play tonight.
