Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames Prediction

The Oilers have been hit or miss all season and aren’t a team I’ve made a habit of backing this season, but they should win this game. The Flames have been a mess over the last two weeks, and they can’t find consistent offense. The Flames have scored two or fewer goals in 5 of their last 7 games. Not ideal when going up against an explosive Edmonton side. Even on the end of a back-to-back, I’m just not showing the Flames much attention. Give me the Oilers.
