Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
The Oilers dropped to fourth place in the conference table and risk falling even lower if they don't start winning. The Alberta team has scored 74 points in 60 starts and is still four points behind Vegas, which ranks first in the Pacific Division table. The Oilers played very poorly in February and suffered five defeats in the last six games. They started after a break with a defeat in the US capital (3:7), were defeated in Tampa (1:4) and could not cope with the pressure of Florida (3:4). The Canadians managed to finish the trip with a 3-1 victory in Raleigh, so they are returning home in a great mood and intend to continue winning on the home court.
Connor McDavid's squad slowed down in attack and scored only 13 accurate hits in the last five matches. Leon Draisatl remains the leader of the attack of the hosts, who scored 90 points (44+46) in the goal+pass system and is the best sniper in the league. The captain himself ranks sixth in the list of the most productive NHL players with 75 points (22+53).
Calvin Picard appeared at the start of the game against Carolina and helped his teammates win. The goalkeeper has blocked 90.05% of shots this season and can oust Stuart Skinner from the base. The first number of the team cannot get into the right shape and copes with only 89.76% of attacks on his possessions in the current regular season. He made two shutouts in 40 starts, which is a pretty weak indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Evander Kane will not be coming with the team in Raleigh. Darnell Nurs' participation is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton has 78:52 on goals scored and conceded in the second period.
The Oilers have the best second period in terms of reliability, and they score a lot on their own.

The guests look good on the spot and often win the puck for their partners.
Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim is trying its best to get closer to the top eight in the West, but currently occupies only the 12th position in the conference. The Ducks have scored 59 points in 59 games, while Vancouver, in eighth place, has 65 points and played one more game. The Ducks played great before the break, but when they returned to the ice, they began to alternate between wins and failures. In the last away series, they started with a victory in Boston (3:2, OT), losing in Detroit (4:5, OT) and Buffalo (2:3). Greg Cronin's team beat Vancouver (5:2) in California, and in the first game of the spring they unexpectedly lost to Chicago (3:6), having failed defensively.
After the break, Anaheim shows an excellent offensive game and scored 16 goals in the previous five matches. Overall, the visitors scored only 2.61 goals per game this season, which is quite modest by NHL standards. Troy Terry remains the Ducks' best offensive player. He scored 45 goals (17+28) and is one of the top 100 top scorers in the league.
John Gibson has only recently returned from injury and was unable to start well against Chicago. The experienced goalkeeper has made 91.06% of his shots this season, but he has never left the court without missing a goal. Lukasz Dostal remains the number one in the team, who coped with 91.02% of attacks on his possessions and made one shutout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brock McGinn and Tomasz Suchanek will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim gets 8.42 minutes of penalty time per match
Ducks are usually eliminated at least four times per game.
- Anaheim has a 42:46 ratio in goals scored and conceded in the second period.
The Ducks spend the second twenty minutes very ineffectively and rarely differ in scoring goals.

1.35Tip and bets
It's time for Edmonton to come to its senses and regain its place in the top three in the West. The team from the province of Alberta lost a lot of points in February and seriously worsened its position in the conference table. Connor McDavid's squad remains one of the strongest in the league in terms of offensive quality and very rarely leaves the court without a lot of goals. It's going to be extremely difficult for Anaheim to handle the Oilers' offense. It is unlikely that the Dax can count on a positive result for themselves in the upcoming match. We are waiting for a confident victory of the oil workers. We offer a bet on winning first with a negative handicap.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton towinwith an Asian handicap (-1.5) in 1.78
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton scores 3.25 goals per game and shows a strong offensive game throughout the regular season. Chris Nobloch's team has slowed down a bit at this stage of the season, but now it will be opposed by the weak defense of Anaheim. The Ducks do not have strong goalkeepers and on average they concede 3.1 goals per game. We think that the hosts will throw at least four times at the ducks' goal.
Betting Tip - Edmonton's individual total is more than 3.5 goals in 1.70
Bet on the total
The games between the teams are always very bright and in the last six matches only once at least six goals were not scored. The Oilers have lost a little in terms of implementing the points, but returning to their home ice will be a great opportunity to improve their attacking performance. Anaheim is capable of upsetting the opponent at least a couple of times, so we'll bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than six goals in 1.80
