Edmonton has won 17 of 29 on the road this season and the Oilers are seeking payback for a 6-5 overtime home loss to the Bruins on Feb. 21. The Oilers have won four in a row after defeating Pittsburgh 6-1 on Sunday when Zach Hyman had two goals and Ryan McLeod and Connor McDavid each had a goal and an assist to back Calvin Pickard, who stopped 22 shots. Stuart Skinner is likely back in net for the Oilers and he is 28-13-2 with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. Skinner has allowed only five goals his past three starts and the Oilers have allowed only six goals during the four-game win streak. Boston has lost four of six although it does come off a 4-1 win over Toronto. This will be just the second home game for the Bruins since Feb. 19. Edmonton has won 10 of 11 against the Eastern Conference and seven of eight in the third game of a 3-in-4 days spot. Take the Oilers as a Max Play.
