Edmonton comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they have just one regulation loss this year. The Oilers are 2-1-1 at home, while the Hurricanes are 6-1-0 on the road. Carolina has also won four of their last five games and they have allowed three goals or fewer in those five. These are two very good teams, but I will side with Edmonton at home.
