Oilers vs. Islanders Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. Like I said in the intro, two high-powered offensive units here, but also two teams that have had trouble keeping the puck out of the net in some of their recent outings. Edmonton’s allowed 12 goals in their last two losses and the Islanders, 10. Seems to me like a high-scoring game is on the cards here so give me the over.
