Colorado Avalanche vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. These are two solid offensive units that have high-scoring potential any time they take the ice and two teams that I have concerns with about from a goaltending perspective. Edmonton just because it’s Edmonton with Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard, and Colorado I worry if MacKenzie Blackwood is healthy and if Scott Wedgewood’s overworked. I think we’re getting some goals here. Give me the over.
