Edmonton has a losing home record while Florida is 10-6-6 on the road. Florida improved to 3-1-0 on a six-game trip with a 6-5 victory at Calgary on Friday. This defense is very good, 12th in the NHL, and the team is 11-5 against an opponent with a losing record. Edmonton is 27th in goals scored, 29th in goals allowed, with bottom five specialty units. The Oilers are on a 4-15-8 slide, and their 29 points are still the fewest in the league. They come off that stunning win over Chicago, but are 0-4 after a victory plus 4-13 in their last 17 home games. The road team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings, so grab the far better defensive team. Play Florida.
