Colorado Avalanche vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. I get the case to be made for Colorado, but the thing is that the Oilers haven’t clinched anything yet and are still fighting for their division title and are a team that’s performed well in high-pressure spots as the two-time defending Western Conference champions. I think Edmonton shows up here and gets the job done against a Colorado team that’s been slightly underwhelming offensively as of late.
