EDmonton Oilers vs. New Jersey Devils Prediction
I’m on the Oilers in this one. I get the case to be made for the Devils as New Jersey’s looked really good with Connor Hellebuyck so far. However, the Oilers have been road warriors this season and I can’t pass up on an opportunity to get them at this kind of price given their form away from home this season. Give me Edmonton.
