Edmonton Oilers vs NY Islanders Prediction
The Edmonton Oilers are the better team and should get the benefit of the doubt at home, but this line is a bit insane. The Oilers have underachieved up to this point, and they’ve been a joke defensively, especially when it comes to defending the power play. I’ve faded the Islanders a lot this season, and they’ve had a lot of frustrating losses. Still, -200 on an Oilers team that has yet to find their footing is nuts. I’ll take a stab with the Islanders at this price.
