Edmonton at Nashville

The Edmonton Oilers look to be a tick or two above what we saw last year as this team slowly turns the corner and becomes competitive again. They have definitely sorted out some issues on the back end of the ice, and it is paying dividends. The Oilers have allowed 3 goals or fewer in 8 of their last 11 is a big step forward for this team. The offense continues to be a work in progress, netting just 12 goals in their last six games. Nashville has been a big surprise at 9-3-2 and the defense is way ahead of the offense at this point. They have allowed just one team to get to 4 goals, and 9 of their 14 opponents have scored 2 or fewer. They have shown limited offense, and that, along with the strong defensive showing has led to 12 of their 14 games falling UNDER the total. Edmonton has now played 6-1 to the UNDER in their last seven vs. a winning team. The Predators are 32-13-6 to the UNDER in their last 51 on two days of rest, and have played six straight to the UNDER vs. a losing team. Edmonton 8-1-2 to the UNDER in their last 11. I don't see a ton of offense in this one, so play on the UNDER.
