The latest riding-by-riding seat projections here at democraticSPACE include one less seat for the Tories. That riding is Edmonton-Strathcona.
Below is a chart of how the projection has changed over the course of the past week. The graph displays averages of democraticSPACE’s projected ranges.

Whichever way this goes, it’s almost certainly going to be very close.
