Edmonton at Chicago

Young Edmonton overachieved last year but is finding the going tough this season. This is only their second road game and the team has struggled everywhere at #28 in goals scored, #22 on the power play, #25 in goals allowed, and #31 in penalty killing. They were a -160 favorite in their only road game, losing 3-2 at Vancouver, and come off a 5-3 home loss to Carolina as chalk. Goalie Cam Talbot is in net (1-3-0, 3.96 GAA) and he twice has been replaced by backup goalie Laurent Brossoit (0-3-0, 3.66 GAA, .854 save percentage). The Oilers are on a 98-204 run on the road, 30-90 away against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Chicago is home, well coached with star power and great balance at fourth in goals scored, seventh in goals allowed and penalty killing. Brandon Saad has been dominant at home during his second stint with Chicago, with five of his six goals -- and three of his NHL-leading four game-winners -- at United Center. Chicago is 50-24 playing on no days rest, and since the start of last season they are 11-3-1 in the second of back-to-back games. With the Oilers 3-10 in the last 13 meetings, back home ice and play Chicago.
