New Jersey Devils vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The Devils have won 3 straight games against the Oilers and 5 of the last 7 games overall. The Oilers also have had consistency issues this season. Still, the Devils played an overtime game yesterday and have to jump back into a spot here. The Oilers are at home, rested, and they’re coming off two strong performances. The Oilers have outscored teams 11-0 in their last 6 periods. Probably the best two game stretch of the season for Edmonton. I’ll roll with the Oilers on Tuesday night.
