The Oilers have won six straight games, and are now just four points back of the Division-leading Golden Knights. With a light schedule this week, the Oilers face the Blue Jackets after three days rest. Edmonton has scored 31 goals in their 6 games win streak. This recent surge is largely a reflection of very good secondary scoring behind the the stellar offensive duo of MCD and Draisaitl.

Columbus is 3-7 in their last ten games and has allowed an average of 4 goals a game in their last three. They are a very poor team on the road this season, and are still not out of the woods as far as injuries go. Columbus is 30th in goals-allowed and face a hard-charging Oilers team with a fine and improving offense and the top-ranked power play in the league. Look for the favored Oilers to pad their win streak with a one-sided victory against the Jackets. Take the Oilers on the Puck line at -1 1/2. 10*!
