Oilers vs Flames prediction

The Oilers are coming off a nice blowout win over the Avalanche, and they're still fighting for playoff seeding. The Oilers have 20 road wins this season. The Flames have nothing to play for at this stage and with losses in 7 of their last 8 games, they're playing like it. The Flames have allowed 4 or more goals in 6 of their last 8 games. The Oilers have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Flames. You could argue the Oilers should be bigger favorites. The line is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Oilers, as there's a lot going in their favor in this spot.
