The Oilers keep getting crushed defensively, and they’ve lost 7 times on the road. The Capitals have issues of their own, but they’re coming off a strong performance against the Kings, and they’re at home for this one. The Caps have outscored the Oilers 10-5 in the last two meetings. Give me the Capitals and the cheap price at home.
