Oilers vs. Golden Knights Prediction

I’m leaning towards Edmonton here. Earlier this season, Vegas was an auto bet at home, but lately, the Golden Knights have struggled to string consistent performances together and I’m not entirely sure how they’re going to slow down Edmonton here. The Oilers look to be back in a groove, the offense is clicking and there appears to be no signs of letting up. The Golden Knights will be fine down the road, but I think Edmonton’s favored on the road for a reason. Give me the Oilers here.
