NHL Regular Season Weekly Preview: Week 4
Summary
Week four of NHL action will feature a ton of action-packed matches to please your hockey betting itch.
Fans of the sport have gone through the first few weeks of matches with a great eye for some of the better games, and teams are finally starting to get into the groove of things.

Some teams like the Philadelphia Flyers who went out on a negative note last year are doing everything they can to pick up the pace in the first few games of the regular season and are a surprise name in the hat of the best teams in the league at the moment.
Don’t be shy and take a gander at Stake.com’s promotion blog for the best NHL betting boosters this week!
Edmonton Oilers versus Nashville Predators - Tuesday, November 2nd
The Edmonton gang is set for another tough test when they draw the Nashville Predators this Tuesday.
One of the highest scoring offenses last season, Edmonton has a ton of talent to put on display every time they take the ice.
Mainly relying on their star man Connor McDavid, the Oilers have a set of young, but confident players that turned their raw ability into experience last season in the playoffs.
Reputation and time within the postseason can truly shape a squad into a formidable opponent, which is what most Edmonton faithful hope transpires in this season.
Making amends to their defensive structure, it will be interesting to see how Edmonton reacts on the bounce to goals this season.
If they can get their sticks in the mix, they will be a tough team to beat.
Like the Edmonton Oilers, the Nashville Predators have a squad ready to do damage in the NHL.
A squad with a lot of unrefined and raw talent, the Preds have a dangerous group of players who can beat anyone on any given day.
There is a cocky but humble aura about the team, and as they grow with time, will be better in the grand scheme of things.
There is no denying the youth of the squad, but questions on both ends of the ice will need to be answered for further progression into the big stages.
Betting Prediction - Oilers team total, the over on Asian total for goals, and the Oilers money line in a marquee matchup this Tuesday!
Toronto Maple Leafs versus Philadelphia Flyers - Wednesday, November 3rd
The Maple Leafs and Flyers will lock horns for an important matchup in the Eastern hemisphere of the conference this Wednesday.
The most popular team in the NHL has gotten off to a mediocre start and needs to turn their fortunes around sooner rather than later.
On the other side of things, the Flyers have started off in a great mood, having won five games out of seven.
There is a tad bit of excitement going around in the city of Philadelphia for what this Flyers team can accomplish this season, but we will have to see the results come consistently in a longer span of the season.
Prediction - Flyers money line in an upset of the darlings of the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs.
