Free Edmonton Oilers vs. Detroit Red Wings NHL Prediction:

I’m liking Edmonton on the road in this one. Detroit has simply been too soft on defense giving up 3.75 goals per night while the Oilers are lighting the lantern for three goals per game.

I think playing the Wings on the road gives Edmonton a great opportunity to get things back on track following a tough loss.
