Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m not excited to back the Oilers, as they’re having a rough week, the defense continues to be spotty and their injury report is brutal. You can make a strong case for the Flames and the plus money. However, the Oilers are still the more talented team and they’re at home where 22-12-3 on the season. The Flames haven’t held up defensively in the games they’ve lost and they’ve had issues slowing down the Oilers, losing seven of their last 10 games against their rival. I don’t feel great about it, but I’ll side with the Oilers, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
