Oilers vs Lightning Best Picks and Prediction
With this being the second game of a back-to-back and their third game in four nights, Edmonton will have their work cut out for them. The Oilers were unblemished on the road as of Monday but will face a formidable challenge against a Lightning squad that appears to have regained its footing.
With a 4-0-1 record over their last five games, Tampa Bay have been strong and are always competitive at home. We are aware of how dangerous Vasilevskiy is when playing at the Amalie Arena because the Lightning are 3-1-1 at home so far this year. Give Tampa Bay the advantage as the Oilers falter under pressure due to exhaustion.
Pick: Lightning ML (-155)
