Edmonton lost a Game 1 for the seventh time in a row, but the Oilers still have won three of the past four playoff series in which that happened and we expect the Oilers to bounce back again in Game 2. The Oilers will come out focused from the start and with more intensity as they know they can't go down 2-0 against a team that barely beat them out in the Pacific Division in the regular season. Stuart Skinner did not have a good game in net for Edmonton, but he still is 17-2-3 its past 22 appearances and this was the first regulation loss in nearly two months for the Oilers, who have won nine of 11 road games. Edmonton has rebounded to go 42-17 its past 59 games after giving up at least five goals its previous game. Play the Oilers as a Max Play.
