Edmonton Oilers vs. New Jersey Devils Prediction

I’m on the Devils in this one. I just like what I’ve seen from New Jersey so far out of the gate this season, while the Oilers’ early season form hasn’t been bad but I still have question marks about this goaltending tandem of Skinner and Pickard. I think the Devils’ early season momentum continues here and the Devils get it done. Give me New Jersey here.
