Edmonton Oilers vs Nashville Predators Prediction
The Oilers have had issues at times stringing wins together this season, so I am hesitant to back them on the end of a back to back. However, the line isn’t juicy enough to side with the Predators. The Oilers have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Preds and that includes a 6-2 win just last week. The Predators haven’t beat the Oilers since November 2023. The Preds have had a handful of games lately where the offense is stuck in the mud. That includes a shutout loss to the Blackhawks. Not going to fly with the Oilers. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Oilers.
