The Oilers are 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 4-1 in their last 5 Saturday games. The Jets are 2-6 in their last 8 Saturday games and 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 33-16-3 in Jets last 52 overall. The over is 12-3-1 in Oilers last 16 overall. The Jets are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. The home team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Winnipeg Jets have the rest advantage, but they’ve also had issues finishing games lately against quality teams. The Edmonton Oilers are at home and coming off a massive blowout win over Seattle last night, which should be a nice confidence booster. The home team has controlled past meetings between these clubs. I’ll side with the Oilers on their home ice.
