The Nashville Predators have fallen off a cliff since coming back to the states, and their offense just can’t get going. That’s bad news when going up against a hot and explosive Oilers side that’s won 4 straight games, that’s second in goals per game despite being 12th in shots per game. The Oilers make the best with the looks they get, and they’ve been incredible at home dating back to the end of last season. Give me the Oilers and the PL to shave down the expensive price.
