The under is 5-1 in Ducks last 6 overall. The over is 36-15-5 in Oilers last 56 overall. The Ducks are 21-9 in the last 30 meetings in Edmonton and 1-4 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Anaheim Ducks have been fade material all season, especially on the road, and this isn’t a spot where that changes. The Edmonton Oilers are piling up the wins, and they’re chasing a potential division title. The Oilers’ offense should have a field day against that horrible Ducks defense. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
