Edmonton Oilers vs Anaheim Ducks prediction

The Edmonton Oilers are on the end of a back to back, but it probably doesn’t matter, as they’re on fire at the moment and their offense is always ready to produce. The Anaheim Ducks have had issues finishing games, they’re piling up the losses, and their offense doesn’t show up most nights. The Oilers have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Ducks, and they’ve won 4 straight. Most of those wins weren’t close. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
