The Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators meet in NHL action from the Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday night.

The Edmonton Oilers will look to rebound from a 2-1 loss to Minnesota last time out. Connor McDavid leads the Oilers with 55 points including a team-high 25 goals and 30 assists while Leon Draisaitl has 46 points with 27 assists. Zach Hyman has 29 points with 10 goals and 19 assists while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 33 points with 14 goals and 19 assists. Jack Campbell’s posted a record of 7-6 with a 4.12 GAA and an .872 save percentage while Stuart Skinner’s gone 9-7 with a 2.76 GAA and a .919 save percentage in goal for Edmonton this season.

The Nashville Predators will try to bounce back from a 1-0 OT loss to St. Louis last time out. Filip Forsberg has a team-high 23 points with 8 goals and 15 assists while Mikael Granlund has 18 points with his own 14 assists and Matt Duchene has 21 points with 15 assists on the year. Roman Josi has 21 points with 15 assists and Nino Niederreiter’s also chipped in a team-high 10 goals while Ryan Johansen has 7 goals as well on the year. Juuse Saros has gone 9-8-3 with a 2.93 GAA and a .908 save percentage between the pipes for Nashville while Kevin Lankinen is 3-3 with a 2.27 GAA and a .934 save percentage.

Edmonton is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall and 40-18 in their last 58 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 games against the Central division. Nashville is 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 games played on no rest while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall.

I get the reasoning for backing either side in this game, but I’m looking at the Oilers here. The Oilers have flat out owned this matchup, winning the last seven meetings between these two teams and the Predators have had little success on the second half of the back-to-back going back some time now. I just see no reason to step in front of that with a near coin flip price, so give me the Oilers here.
