Columbus at Edmonton

The underachieving Oilers are the least profitable team in the NHL this season. They have already lost five times as favorites with odds of minus $1.50 or higher. There is value in going against them. Both teams have lost three in a row and are in desperate need of a win. The Blue Jackets, however, had won four straight games before their losing streak, with two of their defeats during their current skid coming by a single goal. Columbus is a .500 team that has been hot and cold. The Blue Jackets are more reliable than the disappointing Oilers, who are 6-10 and suffered a horrific 9-1 home loss to the Avalanche this past Saturday. It doesn't matter that the Oilers have superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl because their goaltending is so bad. Stuart Skinner is 4-4-3 with a 2.81 GAA and .889 save percentage, while Calvin Pickard is 2-2-1 with a 4.00 GAA and .836 save percentage. Edmonton ranks 27th defensively and just 20th in goals per game. Columbus is outscoring Edmonton this season. The Blue Jackets also take the second-most shots on goal. That's an edge going against weak goaltending. Take the Blue Jackets.
