The Battle of Alberta comes early on in the season as the 1-0 Flames travel to Edmonton to battle Connor McDavid and the 1-0 Oilers.
Being one of the best rivalries in hockey and a playoff rematch from last season, this matchup will not be void of drama.
ODDS
- FLAMES +1.5 (-250)
- OILERS -1.5 (+198)
- FLAMES (-105)
- OILERS (-114)
- OVER 7 (+116)
- UNDER 7 (-142)
PREDICTION
Both these teams are evenly matched all over the ice and that shows with the line. I coul d honestly see either team winning this game, and with these types of rivalries, it truly is a coin flip.
The Oilers bested the Flames in the playoffs last year and I could see the Flames coming out wanting to get revenge for that. But the Oilers are so deadly offensively that it is hard to bet against them.
