Red Wings vs. Oilers Prediction

I’m on the Oilers in this one. Both teams come into this game playing well, winners of three straight, but the difference for me in this game is that the Oilers have been and will be at home for this game. The Red Wings have been at home as well, where they play their better hockey, but that doesn’t help them here as Detroit’s lost three in a row on the road and their road record’s a real step down from their record at home on the year. I think Edmonton defends home ice and nabs a win at home in this one. Give me the Oilers.
