I have a system that backs underdogs in certain situations off a home win. It's 3-1 already this year and Edmonton qualifies here. The Oilers have won 8 of the the last 9 in this matchup overall and five straight here in Anaheim. They haven't fared well thus far on the road but they've only played three games. Overall they are winning by an average score of 3.1 to 2.0. Their defense has been outstanding as they've allowed just 1.5 goals per game over their last four games. They've held six of their eight opponents this season to two goals or less. They are 13-3 the past two seasons in a game following two straight games allowing 2 or fewer goals. Oilers as a live dog here.
