#40 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Edmonton Oilers (-130) over Vegas Golden Knights, Tuesday at 9 PM ET - We have been waiting for this one since the start of the season and the way it has been set up here is perfect.  Vegas is in a B2B spot.  The Golden Knights used their top goalie, Hill, last night.  That means Thompson will be patrolling the crease tonight.  Though Thompson has been okay this season, Hill has been the top guy and the Knights have lost each of Thompson's last 4 starts.  This is a huge revenge game for the Oilers as they were eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals by Vegas in May and the Golden Knights went on to win the Stanley Cup!  What has made this situation even stronger (again we had this spot circled BEFORE the season started) is that the Golden Knights have now lost 7 of last 10 games and have been struggling to score goals of late.  Now couple that with the fact that Edmonton seems to have turned the corner after a slow start this season.  The Oilers just wrapped up a road trip with a much-needed 5-0 blowout win.  For an encore, they came home and delivered an 8-2 thrashing to get warmed up for this huge revenge game.  Remember it was right here in Edmonton that the Golden Knights ended the Oilers season last May!  Now it is time for payback for the home team here.  Since Kris Knoblauch took over in Edmonton for the fired Jay Woodcroft two weeks ago, the Oilers have gone a perfect 3-0 here on home ice!  Edmonton is well-rested here as they have played only once since Friday while this will be the 3rd game in 4 nights for Vegas and it is a back to back spot.  In this stretch of 7 losses in 10 games, Vegas has scored an average of only 1 goal in the 7 defeats!  Also, they scored just one goal in regulation time of their most recent win (in OT over Dallas).  The Golden Knights have not won a game in regulation time in a week and half!  We like the goal-scoring confidence the Oilers have displayed in their last two games and they are getting their swagger back and the set up for this game is perfect.  Looks like a solid home win is on the way in this one!  Home team money line is our play here.
