Edmonton won the only meeting this season, 4-3 in overtime on Nov. 15. The Oilers recently snapped a four-game skid and have won two of three, including 5-4 in overtime against Ottawa on Tuesday. Evan Bouchard scored the winner at 1:50 of the extra period, and Leon Draisaitl had two and three assists for the Oilers, who have scored 22 goals in four games. Edmonton is #8 in the NHL, averaging 3.41 goals per game. Tristan Jarry is the expected starter for the Oilers, and he is 15-7-2 although he has started just once since Feb. 4 due to an injury. Carolina goalie Brandon Bussi has shown some vulnerability lately, allowing eight goals in two games while still picking up wins. Take the Oilers.
