Prediction
Looks like the Penguins are relaxing too much, they just lost against the Flyers who are one of the worst teams in the league. The Oilers continue to play great defense as they're allowing only 1.9 goals per game and have won 7 of their last 10 games. I'll gladly take the plus money with the Oilers.
