The Oilers have also run hot and cold all season and are coming off a poor week. However, the Avs have nothing to play for with the presidents trophy locked up. The Oilers are coming for a Pacifc division title and a more favorable first-round matchup. The Oilers beat the Avs a month ago on the road, cashing a nice underdog ticket. You’re giving me plus money with the team at home that have stakes on the line. Give me the Oilers.
