Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
Tough schedule spot for the Edmonton Oilers after playing an overtime game yesterday. However, the Ducks aren’t good, and they played yesterday as well. The Oilers have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Oilers, and most of those games haven’t been competitive. In fact, all nine of the Oilers’ wins over the Ducks have been decided by two or more goals. I have nowhere else to go in this spot. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
