Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights prediction

The Vegas Golden Knights are terrific at home, and you're not going to get them as home dogs often the rest of this season. However, we're getting the Oilers at a cheap price, a team that hasn't lost a game since December 19. The streak will eventually come to an end, but you almost feel the need to keep backing them until the tickets stop cashing, especially if the price is going to be cheap. That's the case here. Give me the Oilers.
