Ducks vs Oilers Prediction

In this Ducks vs Oilers Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -175 home favorites. The Oilers have been the better team this season and are 3-1 in their last 4 games and have been playing very good defense lately, having allowed one goal or less in three of their last four games. The Ducks have finally playing some good hockey and have managed to string a couple of back-to-back wins, but their defense has still been shaky, having allowed at least 4 goals in eight of their last 10 games. This will be a big issue when facing the best offense in hockey on the road and combined with their red-hot offense that has scored at least five goals in each of their last five games, I expect a high-scoring shootout today. Over 6.5 goals is 6-1 in their last 7 head-to-head meetings and both teams have two of the league’s three best power players. Take the over 6.5 in this one.

The Ducks are 4-2 in their 6 meetings against the Oilers but are 1-4 in their last 5 visits in Edmonton. Over is 6-2-2 in their last 10 meetings.
