Detroit Red Wings vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Detroit for much of the season and I’m not giving too much mind to the Oilers’ loss to Toronto as Toronto is hot and vaught the Oilers reading into their hype a bit too much. I think Edmonton bounces back at home here so give me the Oilers in this one.
