The current betting odds have the Ducks listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ducks have looked really good in their games this season with their 41-27-4 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 18-17-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Oilers have looked good in their games this season with their 36-28-9 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the West. They have looked good on home ice this season with their 18-13-4 home record, but they still haven't been a great team on home ice. Both of these teams are off a win and have been getting hot lately with both teams being 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. The Ducks have been the slightly hotter team lately though and they are in a better position here too. The Oilers are off a road win over the Golden Knights in their last one, but that game went to OT and they had to travel back home after a later game. The Ducks are off a win over the Flames in their last one so they have less of a travel from Calgary, and the Ducks also have a lot more momentum on their side with 4 wins in a row now. This is a big game for the standings too with the Oilers being 5 points behind the Ducks, so both teams are going to bring their best effort here and this is good value for the division leaders at an underdog price. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ducks to win this game.
