The Ducks offense is still averaging only 2.56 goals per game, and I don’t see them running up the score here. The Oilers defense has been good, and they are going to step up here. The Oilers offense is also going to get back on the right track and this is going to be a very comfortable victory. Back the Oilers on the puck line to cash here with ease.
