Carolina Hurricanes vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction
I’m on Edmonton here. Both of these teams have been on another level as of late, but I just feel like in this spot I want to be on the home dog. Edmonton’s been showing an improved level to their defensive game and that’s not something I’m interested in stepping in front of right now. Carolina has had some close calls and even stumbled against Calgary of all teams to where I think that Edmonton is showing some solid value here. Give me the Oilers.
