Two skilled centres who have gone down different paths.

Playoffs in most junior and European professional leagues are well underway. There are also plenty of new faces for the Bakersfield Condors, and the Fort Wayne Komets.

Many Oilers forwards are badly off the pace of their own established performance levels, and well shy of expectations.

The unexpected event momentarily overshadowed the return of Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl from injury, but once play resumed, Draisaitl reclaimed the spotlight by scoring his 50th and 51st goals of the season, leading Edmonton to a dramatic 3–2 overtime victory.

The tale of two wolves, or in this case the tale of two Edmonton Oiler games. Both end up in losses. However, in one of them, you see a glimmer of hope and optimism and in the other, you see dread and sorrow.

Based on their last few head-to-head matchups, expect the Under to trend again for tonight's Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights pick and prediction.
