Edmonton Oilers vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. Columbus got off the schneid, but I liked what I saw from Edmonton on Wednesday and while they’re on a back-to-back here, I still think that the Oilers, who have had the upper hand in this matchup, can get the job done here and get the win. Give me Edmonton in this one.
