Edmonton Oilers vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on the over here. I just think that the Oilers are over machines right now whether they’re on the winning or losing end of the battle, and I’m not really trusting either one of these goaltending rooms right now if I’m being completely honest. I think we’re earmarked for some goals here, so give me the over.
