Edmonton Oilers vs. Detroit Red Wings Prediction
I’m on Detroit here. I just think the value is on Detroit in this game with Edmonton on a back-to-back and I’m still not all that fond of the goaltending situation with Edmonton right now. The Red Wings are playing some really great hockey out of the gate, and while I’m not 100% sure it’s sustainable, I think that Detroit does enough here to get the job done in this game at a nice plus price at home. Give me the Red Wings here.
