The Oilers and the Flames clashed at Edmonton on opening night on Wednesday, a game the Oilers won 7-4. I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter in Friday's meeting at the Saddledome. Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Calgary and we can note that the over is 12-3-1 in Oilers last 16 in the second game of a home-and-home situation and 4-1 in Flames last five in the same situation.

I backed Calgary in the opener as I believed Brian Elliott would give the Flames' struggling D a boost. Well, I was wrong. He allowed three goals on the first five shots he faced and odds are Edmonton will have decent success against him again tonight.
