Carolina at Edmonton

A bad Edmonton team is a big favorite - too big. Last place Edmonton has a losing record overall and is just 2-2 at home. They are #20 in the NHL in goals scored, and are #30 in goals allowed with a bad penalty killing unit (#26). The Oilers are 17-35 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Carolina is winless, but aren't playing that bad, losing three games by just one goal. Jeff Skinner has yet to score in two games since returning from a concussion despite registering nine shots on goal, so the goals will come. The Hurricanes are 5-0 in their last five games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, so grab the big dog against the bad favorite. Play Carolina.
