5 minBoston Bruins vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction: Can Connor McDavid, Oilers Stay Hot At Home?
We have a smaller slate today than we have had the last two days, but still a solid little five game slate here. The Boston Bruins (33-12-11) are taking a trip up to Alberta, Canada for a clash with with the Edmonton Oilers (33-18-1), in a game where I think the home side has the edge here. Both squads are poised for high seed rankings in the playoffs, and these potential Stanley Cup Finals preview games tend to be epic. Four of the last five meetings between these squads were decided by one goal.

Boston Bruins vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction
While it is hard to fade a team that is as high caliber as the Boston Bruins are, this is the spot to do so. Edmonton has one of the best squads in the league, and they're playing with an absurd amount of momentum over the past two months. They are the third-best offensive team in the league on home ice, where they average 3.88 GPG and 35.1 SOG per game.
Boston took down Dallas in overtime on President's Day in an impressive comeback win, but dropped four straight before that. This will their first road game since January 27th, and they are taking on one of the most dominant home ice squads in the league. With that in mind, Boston took both meetings in Edmonton last year, and neither squad has won at home in their last five head-to-head meetings, so the home squad is due for a win here.
