Two Canadian teams are betting favourites in Wednesday night NHL action,. (OddsShark)
Edmonton returns home after closing out a two-game road trip with a 5-3 win over the Golden Knights in Vegas, and has averaged 4.8 goals per game this season.
The duo of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid has led the Oilers attack. Draisaitl maintained his torrid pace in Friday's victory over the Golden Knights, scoring twice and adding an assist in his third multi-point performance in four outings.
Wednesday's contest provides a golden opportunity for the Maple Leafs to bounce back. Largely outclassed during an ugly 0-5-1 start, the Blackhawks are set to hit the ice at United Center as +140 underdogs. Chicago is coming off a lopsided 6-3 loss to the visiting Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, and sits 31st in the NHL with a team goals-against average of 4.50. However, the Blackhawks have held the upper hand in recent dates with their Original Six rivals, scoring 5.
Elsewhere on the Wednesday NHL odds, the Panthers aim to extend their season-opening win streak to seven games as they host the Boston Bruins as slim -125 chalk, while the slumping Golden Knights visit the Dallas Stars at +100 on the NHL moneyline., and avoid posting profanity, personal attacks or harassment.
