Anaheim Ducks vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m on Anaheim in this one. I get the case to be made for the Oilers at home, but I think that last win was more about Vegas stinking it up than it was about the Oilers turning a corner defensively. Anaheim has started to provide some value on the road as of late, now that they’re winning away from the Honda Center, and I think this is a situation where they can nip the Oilers here in a big game for Anaheim’s Pacific division title chase. Give me Anaheim.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Anaheim +125
