The Ottawa Senators are automatic fade material, as they’re not winning games, they’re worse on the road, and they’ve had zero recent success against the Oilers. The Edmonton Oilers are riding a losing streak, but this matchup is just what the doctor ordered. There’s nothing the Senators can do here based on their form and history. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
