The under is our best bet for the Capitals vs Oilers matchup from Edmonton on Wednesday night. The Oilers have a prolific offense, but the Capitals most certainly do not, which should keep this game under its total. The Caps are in the bottom-five in goals scored in the NHL this season, with only the Sharks, Ducks, and Blackhawks faring worse in that department. They will struggle to score goals again in this game, to the benefit of both the Oilers and under bettors.
