Maple Leafs vs. Oilers Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I just think this has the makings of a high-scoring matchup between two teams that still have a ton of firepower within their ranks even though both sides have had some struggles as of late. Toronto especially, scoring just one goal in each of their last three games, but head-to-head, the over has been an ATM for the most part and I think we could have another high-scoring affair here, even if it ends up being a one-sided tilt one way or another. Give me the over in this game.
