Oilers vs Hurricanes Prediction 

Carolina comes into this matchup after escaping with a win in overtime on Friday, but they will be on a back to back here. The Hurricanes are 6-2-0 at home this year, while the Oilers are 3-6-2 on the road. Edmonton has really struggled to play consistently over the last two weeks and they have allowed at least four goals in four of their last five games. I keep waiting for Edmonton to turn it around, but I can’t trust their goaltending or defense right now. Take Carolina to get the win here.
