Edmonton Oilers vs. Colorado Avalanche Prediction
I’m on the over here. The over has been money in Edmonton Oiler games as of late, despite not cashing against Vegas, but I think we get back on track with it here. The Avalanche have the better goaltending, but Edmonton still has a potent offense that can find the net a couple of times, and I think Colorado runs wild on this porous Edmonton defense. Give me the over.
