Oilers vs Blue Jackets Prediction 

Edmonton was able to escape with the win against the Flyers on Wednesday night, which was their second straight win in overtime, but they will be on a back to back here. The Oilers are 3-5-2 on the road this year, while the Blue Jackets are 3-3-0 at home. Columbus snapped their losing streak with a win over Seattle on Tuesday, but they have allowed at least four goals in three of their last four games. I don’t really trust either goalie in this matchup, but I think Edmonton is starting to pick up momentum and I like them to continue that here. Take the Oilers to win.
