Edmonton at Nashville

The Edmonton Oilers had some high expectations this season with their electric offense. It has not been there in the early going, and now Connor McDavid is out for a few weeks. Edmonton has started at 4-5-1, but they have been getting beaten badly too often in the early going. Edmonton has allowed 35 goals, and has scored just 23. So they are -12 on the season in scoring margin. Only the Sharks have been worse in the Western Conference. Nashville opened the season an ugly 0-5, but have rallied back to win three of their last four. The Predators allowed 23 goals in those first five games, but just eight in their last four. Edmonton looks lost and beatable in the early going. Make the play on Nashville.
