Hurricanes vs. Oilers Prediction
I’m on the Hurricanes here. I just feel like the ‘Canes have the more stable goaltending situation in their camp right now. The Oilers are still trying to rebound from their rough start to the year, and the goaltending still hasn’t found it’s footing, and realistically, neither has the offense. I just feel like we’re getting plus money with the better team which is never a bad thing. Give me the Hurricanes.
