ASA play on Edmonton Oilers -140 at New Jersey Devils, 7:37 pm ET - We are not buying the Devils two recent wins, and they came against Columbus and Philadelphia who both sit below them in the standings. New Jersey now steps up to face a much better Edmonton team that is coming off a loss against Buffalo as a -180 road favorite. The Oilers have outshot their last four opponents by a combined 128/102 and two of those wins came against Montreal and Dallas. The Oilers are 9th in Goals p/game at 3.23 on the season, New Jersey is averaging 2.98. The Devils have a slight advantage defensively allowing 2.53 Goals p/game, the Oilers give up 2.94. Edmonton has the much better shots/shots allowed differential at +300 for the season compared to the Devils at +165. With two relatively even goaltenders, we like the Oilers offense in this one and the fact Edmonton is playing with revenge from a loss earlier this season to the Devils.
