1* Free Play UNDER Oilers/Ducks.

These teams are on exact opposite ends of the spectrum right now, as Edmonton has lost five in a row and eight of its last nine, while Anaheim is ranked by many as the No. 1 team in the league right now, winner of six straight (and note that the Ducks have won six of the last seven in this series in front of the home town crowd). After coming out of the break with two straight victories, the Oilers have gone just 1-8, sitting with just 50 points on the season. Offensive inefficiency has been the biggest reason for Edmonton's slide, it's scored just nine goals in its last five games and only 17 goals in its last eight (and note that five of those markers would come in a single game). The Oilers are 26th in the league in scoring, managing an average of just 2.4 GPG. As mentioned off the top, the Ducks are currently rolling right now, anchored by possibly the best goaltender in the league in Frederik Andersen, who owns a 2.31 GAA on the year and an 8-4, 1.99 GAA at home. And vs. the Oilers he's been even better, 5-1 with a tiny 2.16 GAA lifetime. Note that Anaheim is ranked fifth in the league in goals allowed, giving up just 2.3 per game, while ranking second in the NHL on the penalty kill, allowing the opposition to convert on just 13.3 percent of their power play chances. Note that Edmonton has seen the total go UNDER the number in 16 of 20 this season vs. teams with winning records, while Anaheim has seen the total dip below the posted number in four of five after shutting out its opponent in its previous game. Consider a second look at the UNDER in this one.
