Ducks vs. Oilers Prediction
I’m on the over here. I think this is probably a comfortable Oilers win which has been the trend in this matchup the last couple of seasons, but the line has priced us out to where we don’t even get any sort of value on the -1.5 puck line. The Oilers winning and goals are the two constants here so I’ll side with the over as the more reasonably priced option for this game.
