The Edmonton Oilers are on a heater right now and are worth strong consideration at home. However, we’re getting arguably the best team in the league at one of the cheapest prices you’re going to get. You’re simply not going to get the Avs at these prices often, so I say take advantage of it while you can. The Avalanche have won 76.7 percent of their last 56 games. Give me the cheap price.
