The Edmonton Oilers are going to get the benefit of the doubt here because of home ice and with the way they’re playing. However, we’re getting plus money with a Devils team that’s playing equally well. While the talent of the roster will have some questioning how long this stretch will continue, there’s no doubt the Devils are playing high level hockey through 10 games. Until that stops, I have to side with the Devils and the plus money.
