Edmonton won the first meeting 5-4 in overtime in October and the Oilers have come alive under new coach Ken Hitchcock. They have won seven of their last eight games, including the last four in a row while outscoring opponents 17-8 in those four games. Edmonton scored four goals in the second period in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Colorado and Mikko Koskinen stopped 39 shots. The Oilers have won four of the last five meetings with Winnipeg and they have won four straight overall with one day of rest. The Jets also have been hot, but they are only 1-6 over their last seven games against teams with winning records. The road team has also won seven of the last nine meetings. Cam Talbot should be back in goal tonight and he has won his last two starts while allowing four goals with 63 saves. There is huge value with the road underdog, so play the Oilers.
