The Edmonton Oilers have picked up some momentum of late winning three of their last four games. Each game has been decided by one goal and I think they'll keep it close tonight as well as they're staying in Alberta to do battle with the Calgary Flames.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational/Motivational - Sitting bottom of the Western Conference with only 35 points this season is already all but over for the Oilers. They do have two games against their Alberta foe left on the schedule though, and I expect them to give it their all in these rivalry games.

2. Home Woes - The Flames have lost four of their last five at home, with the lone win coming against the lowly Buffalo Sabres. The Oilers have won two straight on the road and must be poised to keep that momentum going.

3. X-Factor - Both teams rank near them bottom of the league for shots per game. This speaks for a close low-scoring contest.

Selection: This is a play on the Edmonton Oilers +1.5. (8*)
