Ducks vs Oilers Prediction

The Oilers are 3-1 in their four meetings against the Ducks this season and all of their three wins have been in Edmonton. Over is 7-3 in their last 10 meetings.

In this Ducks vs Oilers Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -190 home favorites. The Oilers won a close game one but I don’t like the -190 price. Instead, I will go once again over the total as both teams have gone over in three of their four meetings this season and the Oilers have the 6^th-best offense and the best power play in hockey this season. The Ducks’ defense has been terrible lately, having conceded 4+ goals in 8 of their last 10 games, so I expect another high-scoring affair. Take the over 6.5.
