(NHL) Edmonton vs. Calgary, 05/20/2022 10:30 PM, Score: 5 - 3
Money Line: 150.00 Edmonton (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers.

I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Friday. The Oilers lost the 1st game of this series in a really high scoring affair, losing that game 9-6. The Oilers didn't really get a good start in that game, more specifically their goalkeeper Mike Smith who was pulled in the 1st period after giving up 3 quick goals on his 1st 10 shots faced. Koskinen wasn't great either since he still gave up double the goals but it was a really bad night for all goalkeepers in that game since even Markstrom gave up 6 goals himself and he didn't face a ton of shots from the Oilers either. I still think the Oilers looked good on offense in that game though. They were down 5-1 in that game and they managed to come back and tie the game 6-6. They still gave up 3 goals after that but I expect Mike Smith to have a better game here and not get pulled this time around. The Oilers showed that they can compete with the Flames and score enough goals to keep up with them. I think they just need a better performance from their goalie here and the Oilers can steal a road game here. These cities are really close to each other so the rivalry here is a big one and I think the Oilers aren't going to let this series get to 2-0 for their 2 home games. I expect the Oilers to be better defensively and I expect Mike Smith to have a better game too. I think the Oilers have the offensive power to outscore the Flames here and I expect them to take a game back to tie this series up. I like the Oilers to win this game here.

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers.
