This is quick revenge for Edmonton, which lost 5-1 to the Blackhawks last Saturday after shutting out Chicago 5-0 in the first meeting on Nov. 21. The Oilers have won both games since that loss against Arizona and Philadelphia with Connor McDavid recording a goal and two assists against the Flyers and Cam Talbot saving 33 shots. Chicago is playing its first home game after a six-game road trip and hasn't played since the win over the Oilers. Corey Crawford has a 2.57 goals-against average and didn't play in that last matchup against Edmonton. The Blackhawks have won just two of their last seven after a road trip of at least seven days and two of their last seven against winning teams. The value lies with the Oilers, so play Edmonton.
