This is a 10* play on the Edmonton Oilers.
The Flames are coming limping into Edmonton off a pair of ugly losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles on back to back nights. They were out-scored 11-3 in those two games, and they appear to be in rough shape heading into this season's final edition of the Battle of Alberta. I bet against the Flames in each of their last two games, and here is what I had to say before the puck dropped: "The Flames rank dead last in the NHL in goals against, and own the league's most futile penalty killing unit. Goaltending certainly isn't a strength, and last night we saw Jonas Hiller pulled after surrendering three goals on five shots. Niklas Backstrom didn't do any better, as he was torched for five goals on 22 shots. We could see Joni Ortio tonight, who is 5-8-4 with a 2.76 GAA this season. He's lost two of his last three starts, surrendering seven goals in those games." The Oilers are 8-8 in their last 16 games overall, and goaltender Cam Talbot has won three of his last five starts, and stopped 40 shots in a 2-0 shutout win over Vancouver two weeks ago.
Take EDM.
