Flames vs Oilers Prediction
The Oilers are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re the Oilers and have played great hockey overall. However, we’re getting almost two times our money with a Flames team that’s won five of their last six games and is defending at a high level. Also, the Flames have won three of the last four games against the Oilers. The underdog has cashed in five of the last nine games between the Flames and Oilers. I’ll take a shot in the dark with the Flames at this price.
