Boston at Edmonton

Despite outshooting the Oilers, the Bruins lost to Edmonton, 3-1, at home on Dec. 18 in the team's previous meeting. That frustrating loss was the first of what has become a six-game losing streak for Boston. Lack of scoring is what is plaguing the Bruins. They have managed only 13 goals during their six-game losing skid. Boston covered the puck line, however, in its last game, a 2-1 road loss to the Flames this past Monday. Edmonton is leading the Pacific Division, but is just two points ahead of third-place Anaheim. This has been a down year in the Pacific Division, so that has allowed the Oilers to fatten their record. Boston can turn around its offense against this opponent. The Oilers rank 24th defensively, and their goaltending woes continue to haunt them, even after shipping off Stuart Skinner. Take the Bruins on the puck line.
