Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings prediction
The Detroit Red Wings are coming off a couple of nice wins, but it's going to take more than that to get me on the bandwagon. The Edmonton Oilers are one of the hotter teams in the league with 8 straight wins, and they've been a cash cow during this stretch. I'm just not eager to step in front of the Oilers, and I don't believe the Red Wings are that team capable of ending this streak. Give met he Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
