Edmonton at Washington

Edmonton is on a three-game skid and Washington has won five straight, but the Oilers are favored on the road as the oddsmaker still believes, and rightly so, that the Oilers have the more talented team. Edmonton made a coaching change and that helped for a couple games, but then the Oilers went back to some old habits and lost three straight, including a 6-3 loss to Carolina on Wednesday. Stuart Skinner is expected in net today for the Oilers and Darcy Kuemper for the Capitals. Kuemper has a 3.04 goals-against average and .892 save percentage. Edmonton has won 10 of its past 14 Friday games. Take the Oilers as a Max Play.
