Game of the Year *NHL* - Rogers' Western Conference BEST BET
(NHL) Edmonton vs. Anaheim, 12/10/2014 5:00 PM, Score: 1 - 2
Point Spread: -1.50 | 125.00 Anaheim (Home)
Result: Loss
The Edmonton Oilers snapped an 11 game losing streak versus San Jose Sunday but were back to their losing ways last night as the Sharks got revenge in a 5-2 win. The Oilers are going from the Shark Tank to the Duck Pond tonight as they're staying in California to take on the Anaheim Ducks. The hosts are coming off four consecutive wins, and anything but an annihilation of their opposition tonight would surprise me.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Edmonton's Slumping Offense - Only three teams have a worse average than the Oilers 2.21 goals per game this season and they are equally poor on the power play converting on less than 13% of their opportunities. They've managed only 24 goals over their last 13 games and have not scored more than two in any of their five most recent match-ups in Anaheim.

2. Home Cookin' - The Ducks have won four of their last five at home, denying teams like Boston and the hot Flames a single point. They've dominated the Oilers over recent meetings at home, winning all of the last four outscoring the visitors 13-7.

3. X-Factor - Ryan Getzlaf has 10 points over his last five games and assisted three of the Ducks four goals against the Jets Sunday.

Selection: This is a play on the Anaheim Ducks PL (10*)
