“Vegas” — “Edmonton”: forecast for the NHL match

Current form

Edmonton has gained excellent form and continues to earn points steadily. The team winning streak has already reached three games, and it began at home, where they managed to crush a very serious opponent in the form of the Rangers with a score of 6:2. Once again, the attacking line showed an excellent game, and in particular, it is worth praising forward McDavid, who scored twice and also gave an assist. It turned out to be much more difficult to consolidate the success, since Utah had problems in defense on the road, which almost led to defeat. As a result, it came down to overtime, where the Oilers still achieved their goal, snatching a victory with a score of 4:3. The duo of Draisaitl and McDavid distinguished themselves again, each scored two points.

The Oilers then went to visit a much more serious opponent in the person of Colorado and took advantage of their not-so-best form, winning confidently (4:1). It is impossible not to note the efforts of goalie Skinner, who reflected 96% of the shots and did not allow the opponent to cling to a comeback. Indeed, Knoblauch charges have earned a large number of points recently, due to which they have strengthened their position in the playoff zone and are currently in seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

Disqualifications and injuries

Edmonton still has some problems with its roster. Kane, Hyman and Arvidsson will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
