Predators vs. Oilers Prediction
I have to stick with the Oilers until they give me a reason not to. The Predators have looked good in some spots as of late, but the Oilers continue to win hockey games and play solid defense in doing so. I just can’t go against the Oilers in their current form. Give me Edmonton here.
