The New Jersey Devils will play their second game in a row in Alberta when they take on the Edmonton Oilers on the NHL betting selection menu in a light night around the league on Wednesday.
New Jersey won the lone game versus Edmonton last season. But, the last time they played the Oilers on the road - it was a 2-0 victory for hometown Edmonton.
The Oilers came off a five-game road trip with just one victory, and with 10 of their victories coming at home, things could shape up for them to take this one over the Devils as a home underdog.

It could get interesting in NHL betting circles on Thursday when the red-hot Vancouver Canucks take on one of the best home teams in the St. Louis Blues.
Vancouver split their first two games of this road trip before meeting up with Tampa Bay on Tuesday. However, win or lose, fatigue and the Blues home record should be enough for St. Louis to clinch another win on home ice.

New York has been igniting every red light around the NHL these days and all eyes will be on the betting contest Saturday when the Rangers head to Toronto for a game with the Maple Leafs.
Toronto doubled the Rangers in New York early in December, but the Rangers have two straight wins in Toronto and their recent play sets up to favour them on the road.
