A pair of contenders face off in Edmonton tonight. The Oilers have lost 4 straight, giving up 4 goals a game on average, while scoring only 2 per game over the same period. Could their dynamic duo be playing too much lately? It is early in the season, but carrying a team is heavy hauling and their work load is phenomenal. The Oilers’ major problem is defense, and they face a tough and balanced team in the Hurricanes tonight. The Canes have won three straight, and have been tough to play against with the second rated defense in the league. Andersen was very sharp against the Flames last game, and Carolina is a good road team this year. The Canes are a small underdog tonight. I am looking for them to steal one this evening. Canes to win.
