Flames vs Oilers Prediction

The Flames are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Oilers and have won three of their last five visits in Edmonton.

In this Flames vs Oilers Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -210 home favorites. The Oilers have more points this season and are rightfully favored at home, but they have back-to-back losses with a combined 5-11 score and will be facing a red-hot Flames team that is 5-1 in its last 6 games and has been playing elite defense in that span, having allowed just 6 goals in their last four games. The Flames have sneakily the 4^th-best power play in hockey and a better penalty kill and I expect them at least to keep this one close. Take the Flames by +1.5.
