Free NHL Pick:
The Edmonton Oilers are enjoying a good season as they are one of the best teams in the Western Conference, and I expect them to edge out the Minnesota Wild as they have dropped 2 consecutive games. The Oilers have one of the most talented teams in the NHL with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and they have lived up to those expectations this season as the duo has combined for 109 points. The Wild are slated to start Devan Dubnyk in this matchup, and he hasn’t had a good season as he is sitting at 4-8-2 with a GAA of 3.35. The Oilers will put enough goals on Dubnyk to help cover their questionable goaltending, and they will win this game on the road. Final Score Prediction, Edmonton Oilers win 4-2.
