Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton had a lot of problems at the start of the season, but over the last two months they have improved significantly and reached a completely different level. The team is already in second place in the Western Conference and has earned a total of 67 points. If they continue in the same spirit, they may well be in contention for first place, which they are currently six points away from. Note that they have shown their best side recently and have had a series of three victories.
Thus, the Oilers, after a difficult victory over Colorado (4:3), lost to Vancouver on the road (2:3), and after a home defeat to Washington (2:3), they nevertheless pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over Vancouver with a score of 6:2. They managed to consolidate their success in the next confrontation with Buffalo, which they dealt with with a score of 3:2 and got away with only two missed goals. The final match against Seattle was not easy for the club, during which they were losing 1:2, but they played well in the second and third game periods, during which they scored three unanswered goals.
Note that Chris Knobloch team is usually highly productive and, on average, even on its own ice, it breaks down the opponent defense at least three or four times. The team plays the second period more powerfully than the other periods, and has a 70:38 ratio of goals scored and conceded. Edmonton also continues to improve its power play, thanks to which it already has a 24.4% power play conversion rate.

Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference and currently has 53 points. The team has serious plans this season and intends to get to the playoffs, so it is very important for it to avoid long losing streaks and continue to show similar results. Note that it is now literally three points away from the top eight, so it may soon end up in the same place as Tampa.
Recently, the Wings were able to replace a series of three failures with three victories in a row. After a defeat from Philadelphia (1:2 OT), they pulled themselves together and first proved their superiority over Montreal (4:2), and after a successful match against the Lightning (2:0), they confidently dealt with Los Angeles at home with a score of 5:2. In most cases, Todd McLellan team was distinguished by a strong defensive game and managed no more than two missed goals.
Let us emphasize that the third twenty minutes usually develop best for Detroit, within which it has a ratio of 53:47 in goals scored and goals conceded. True, on the road this season the Red Wings have demonstrated mediocre results and during this entire time have managed to win only seven victories within 60 minutes. But the club shows itself well in unequal compositions, especially in the majority, and currently has 27.8% of the extra man conversion.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tarasenko, Kane, Compher and Petrie will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting

Trends

In three out of four meetings, the visitors achieved success in the third period
3.70Tip and bets
We think that Detroit will be able to cause some trouble for Edmonton and will impose a close fight in the upcoming match. The Wings are in a great mood after a successful home series and usually look good against similar opponents. Plus, the previous meetings between the clubs were quite tense and often reached overtime and shootouts. The Red Wings, perhaps, are currently in almost the best position to beat the Oilers, so it is definitely worth betting on their victory for a high coefficient.
Prediction - Detroit win for 4.15
Bet on individual total
Detroit managed with a minimum number of missed pucks in previous meetings and usually did not allow opponents to score more than three times. In the last four matches, the Wings did not miss three times. Edmonton, in turn, in three matches out of five remained with less than three goals scored in the asset. If the goalkeeper of the guests shows a reliable game and copes well with his duties this time, then the hosts are unlikely to be able to score four times.
We bet on Edmonton individual total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Total Bet
Previous meetings involving the Oilers were not particularly productive and often ended with fewer than seven goals scored. Bookmakers unreasonably offer such a high total for this match, although the last meeting between the clubs, which took place this season, ended with only four goals. Detroit also does not particularly like to play hockey on opposite courses, so it makes sense to bet on the total under.
We take the total under 6.5 pucks for 1.70
