This is a tough spot for the Edmonton offense in the middle of a three-game trip. They have been playing some defense, keying a 3-0 run as well as a 3-1 run UNDER the total, plus 8-2 UNDER against the Western Conference. But this team is still ranked #26 in goals scored, #29 in goals allowed and #26 in penalty killing. The Oilers are 11-40 against the Western Conference and face an Anaheim teams that is #12 in goals scored and closing in on a third straight Pacific Division title. The Ducks can secure the division title with a win here. Anaheim has an NHL-leading 105 points as it begins a three-game homestand. Anaheim will be fired up for a big win for a lot of reasons, including the fact that they are home after a five-game trip and are riding a three-game win streak. The Ducks are 58-28 at home and 32-15-6 UNDER the total when playing on two days of rest. Edmonton is 5-21 against Anaheim and the UNDER is 13-5-1 when they meet (5-1 UNDER in this building), so look for a one-sided win by the home team who will shut down the visitors. Play Anaheim on the puckline and take the UNDER.
