Ducks vs Oilers Prediction

The Ducks have upset the Oilers in two of the last three meetings, which includes a win about a month ago as a near +300 underdog. However, the Ducks have nothing to play for at this stage, with them already eliminated from playoff contention. The Oilers are injured, but they’ve still managed to win games here and there and are still more talented than a lot of teams in this league. The Ducks are coming off two straight ugly losses where the defense hasn’t shown up. Not ideal when going up against a team as explosive as Edmonton. Give me the Oilers and the reasonable price.
