Free Betting Pick: Edmonton Oilers -110
The Oilers have been able to play some great hockey on the year, but the offense has not really been playing at the level they should be able to reach on the season. What else is impressive is the defense of the Coyotes which is going to struggle in this game as McDavid has quite a bit of talent and a slow supporting cast, but one that will show up in this game here. Final Score, Edmonton Oilers win 4-2.
