Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The Ducks limped into the postseason with bad form and losing game 1 the way they did probably doesn’t help with the confidence. The Ducks are probably the least attractive team in the field right now. The Oilers not only have played their best hockey at home this season, but they’re a veteran group that’s earned our trust over the years in the playoffs. Making back-to-back cup appearances, the Oilers know how to win this team of year and are trustworthy. These teams are in different zip codes in terms of form right now. I have to roll with the Oilers and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
