T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers.

I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Sunday. The Oilers looked really good in their most recent game, stealing a road game in the series and now giving themselves the advantage as they go back to Edmonton for the next 2 games. The Oilers won the previous game 5-3 after trailing early in that game just like they were trailing early in the 1st game against the Flames. They fell behind by 4 goals in that 1st game but managed to come back and tie the game just to lose it in the end. They still put in a great effort in that game with 6 goals, they just needed a better effort from their goalkeeper. They got that better effort in the 2nd game though and scored 5 goals to win that game, again coming back from behind. The Oilers are at home now and I think they are going to be the team to try and jump ahead early in this game on their home ice. Markstrom hasn't looked good for the Flames in any of these games and he hasn't even faced a lot of shots either. The Stars didn't pepper him with a lot of shots in their 1st series either and he still had games where he gave up a lot of goals. He hasn't really been tested in the postseason until now and he looks like he is cracking under the pressure here. Mike Smith had a much better game, he did give up 2 quick goals in that 2nd game again, but once he got calmed down with his nerves he looked a lot better for the rest of the game. I think Markstrom is going to let the Flames down in this game, he just had 2 terrible games on home ice and now has to play in 2 road games with a much more hostile environment. The 1st line for the Oilers has woken up too and is starting to get really hot in these games with goals. I like the Oilers to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers.
