Both of these teams come into this game playing great hockey recently and we should be in for a very entertaining game here. Edmonton is 7-4-1 at home and they have won six games in a row, while the Devils are 9-4-0 on the road and have won six of their last seven. The Oilers have played very well defensively in recent games, allowing five goals in their last three games. New Jersey will be on the second game of a back to back and I think that will be the difference in this game. Take the Oilers to get the win.
