Edmonton Oilers vs New Jersey Devils Prediction
The New Jersey Devils have been the sharper team overall this season, but we’re not getting enough bang for our buck to pull the trigger. The Edmonton Oilers are slowly but surely getting their feet under them, and they’re coming off a successful road trip. I’d assume the Oilers can build on that coming back home. It’s a pick ’em price. I have to give the edge to the Oilers on their home ice. The home team has won 5 of the last 7 games between the Devils and Oilers.
