Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames Prediction

I’m on the Flames here. I know it’s a rivalry game and the Oilers can’t continue to struggle like this, but realistically, the Oilers are slumping through a season-opening hangover that’s worse than I would’ve expected from them, and until they get it sorted out, I don’t want to lay hefty prices just because. The Flames have been solid out of the gate and while I don’t necessarily expect it to last, I think they can do enough to keep it going here and at a great price as well.
