The Edmonton Oilers are due for a bounce back victory and this matchup pis just what the doctor ordered. The Anaheim Ducks are just a bad hockey team that’s arguably the worst defense in the league. It’s just tough to get behind the Ducks these days, especially when you consider only 3 teams have lost bettors more money up to this point. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
