1* free play on the Edmonton Oilers ...

The Oilers host the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, and they'll look to snap a three game losing streak. The Avs come in as winners of three of their last four, but they might be in for a rough ride here on the road against a talented young Oilers team. My money is on Edmonton at home.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Home ice has been key in this series, with the home team prevailing in five of the last seven meetings between the two teams. Edmonton has won four of it's last five home games against Colorado.

2. Connor McDavid - The rookie phenom is lighting up opposing goaltenders since his return from injury. He has five goals and nine assists in his last nine games overall. He's tallied seven points in his last four home games.

3. X-Factor - The Avalanche are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games when coming off two days rest.
