Edmonton Oilers vs. Anaheim Ducks Prediction
I’m on the Ducks here. I’m just not keen on backing the Oilers right now with a banged up McDavid and Draisaitl when the pair account for so much of Edmonton’s offense and the Oilers also have a pretty messy situation in goal right now as well. The Ducks have been a feisty underdog all season long and I don’t expect that to change down the stretch, especially being at home. I’ll take my chances with the Anaheim Ducks in this one.
