Carolina Hurricanes vs Edmonton Oilers prediction

The Edmonton Oilers are riding a nice winning streak and are at home here, where the offense often goes crazy. However, the Hurricanes have been more consistent overall and their defense is much easier to trust. Also, the Canes have won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the Oilers, which includes a 6-3 win a couple of weeks ago. Pick ’em prices, I have to give the edge to the Hurricanes on the road.
