The Edmonton Oilers are on a nice little hot streak, but they still have to prove themselves on the road and in the underdog role. The Washington Capitals are coming off a strong overtime win over the Penguins, and they’ve had no trouble winning on the end of back to backs this season. At home, I have to lean toward the Caps and the cheap price.
