Senators vs Oilers Prediction

The Oilers have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Senators and are the more talented team on paper, but the truth is neither team is playing well out of the gate. The Oilers have lost 3 straight games and are getting rocked defensively, and this will also be their fifth straight road game. The Oilers probably just want to get home and get back in their own bed. If there was a chance for the Senators to right the ship and get a feel good win over a team that’s owned them in recent years, this is probably it. I’ll take a shot with the plus money.
