NHL *BIG SHOT*
(NHL) Washington vs. Edmonton,
Money Line: 126.00 Edmonton (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Edmonton Oilers
Rating: 10*

The Edmonton Oilers enter this game with a 5-1-0 record on the season and riding a three-game winning streak. They'll take on a tough opponent in the Washington Capitals Wednesday night, but I like the Oilers chances here as a home dog.

The Capitals are 1-5 in their last six road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 3-8 in the last 11 meetings in Edmonton.

The Oilers have picked up a lot of talent in recent years, and their youthful offense is averaging 3.8 goals per game on the season. Washington has the better roster, but while I don't expect Edmonton to go deep into the playoffs or anything, I'm happy to back them at home, at this price, in the form they're in right now.
