Edmonton Oilers vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction

The Utah Hockey Club have played some of their best hockey at home, but they're in a funk offensively, and that's not ideal when rolling with the Oilers. Utah has scored 2 or fewer goals in 5 of its last 8 games, and two of those games were shutouts. The Edmonton Oilers have been hit or miss this season, but they've shown signs of putting things together, and that includes a couple of overtime wins. The Oilers should win this game and kind of need to, as you can only lose so many winnable games. Give me the Oilers.
