The Edmonton Oilers have been a roll over these last 2 weeks, and they should be motivated to keep it up as they continue to fight for the best possible seed. The Anaheim Ducks are going nowhere fast, have nothing to play for, and playing at home hasn’t helped much this season. Only one way to go here. Give me the Ducks and the PL for max betting value.
