In this Oilers vs Ducks Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -135 road favorites. The Ducks won Game 3 at home in another high-scoring affair and even though I like the Oilers to bounce back and make this a series again, I will just have to take the over again. The scores keep getting higher in this series and I don’t expect this to stop. After seven total goals in game one, there were 10 and 11 total goals with the Ducks having an insane 50% power play percentage. Take the over 7 in this one.
