The wheels are coming off for the Jets, who can’t finish games and have been getting beaten over the head defensively. The Oilers and Jets played each other a few weeks ago, and Edmonton blasted its way to a 6-2 victory. These are two teams heading in different directions. Give me the Oilers and the reasonable price on Monday night.
