Edmonton at Columbus

The Edmonton Oilers have been dealt a difficult schedule to open the NHL season, as this will be their 14th road game to just five home games. The good news is that they are getting used to it and have now won four of their last seven on the road. That is better than what the Bluejackets have accomplished in their last seven played on home ice where they are 3-4. The Oilers have feasted against teams that aren't finding the net and that have scored two goals or less in their last game, where they are 11-3. The Bluejackets sure don't take teams with a losing record seriously as they are just 14-39 in their last 53 against teams with a losing record. We have a live dog here, and I'm backing the Oilers to steal one.
