Detroit Red Wings vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

The Oilers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but this is a thick line for a team that’s shown all year they can’t string together wins. The Oilers have played their best at home, but they’ve been hit or miss all year. The Red Wings are putting together a strong week where the offense is rolling, and they did beat the Oilers back in October. The road team has won 5 of the last 7 games between the Red Wings and Oilers. We’re getting 1.5 times our money. I’ll take a shot with the Red Wings at this price.
