Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton is in the fifth position of the Western Conference and has again begun to gradually improve its position in the table. The team has gone through difficult times and has become much more likely to please fans with positive results. At the moment, she is on a series of three victorias and definitely does not intend to stop there.
After a 2:3 away loss to New Jersey, the Oilers beat the Islanders (2:1 OT) and the Rangers (3:1) on the road, and already on their ice they literally defeated Utah with a score of 7:1, leaving it no chance. Then the match turned out incredibly well for Zach Hyman, who scored a double and an assist. It is noteworthy that once again the Oilers were left with only one missed puck, although this time Picard played on goal, who eventually parried 29 shots.
It is worth mentioning that Chris Nobloch's team demonstrates the greatest activity during the second game period, in which it has a ratio of 87:58 in goals scored and conceded. However, the team still has problems with playing in the minority, as it currently has only 77% of the opponent's majority neutralized.
Disqualifications and injuries
Klingberg, Kane and Frederik will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Edmonton holds 14 power moves per match.
- On average, the oilers make 32 shots on target.

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg tops the Western Conference table and is eight points ahead of its closest pursuer, so it's definitely not in danger in the near future. At the same time, the team continues to demonstrate a meaningful game and reserves many fights. As a rule, she gives out small winning streaks and makes do with rare single defeats.
Before that, the air army defeated the Rangers (2:1) and Dallas (4:1) on its ice, and beat Seattle 3-2 in overtime on the road in a hard-fought game. However, in the final confrontation with Vancouver, she still lost 2-6, although she was considered the favorite in that match. Then the Jets' game didn't go well in the first half, in which they conceded three goals, and subsequently they could not come to their senses and turn the tide of the match.
However, this can be called an exception to the rule, since Winnipeg usually manages with a minimum number of goals conceded and does not allow opponents to score three times. Arniel's team feels most comfortable in the second period, in which it has a 73:48 ratio of goals scored and missed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nick Pionk will not participate in the upcoming meeting due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Winnipeg wins 49.1% of face-offs
- According to statistics, Winnipeg holds 20 strength techniques.

In the last two matches, the hosts have reserved the third period for themselves.
2.35Tip and bets
In our opinion, Edmonton can claim success in this confrontation. The oilers have now gained good form and completed three matches in a row in their favor. They probably remember the loss to Winnipeg at the start of the season and will try to do everything to get revenge. Moreover, the Jets had defeated Vancouver the day before, and this could have shaken their self-confidence somewhat.
Prediction - Edmonton wins with a handicap (0) in 1.80
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has had a great defensive game lately and has been left with less than two goals conceded. In the last three matches, the goalkeepers did a great job with their direct duties and parried most of the shots. Winnipeg, in turn, has not scored three times out of five in the last three meetings, so we do not think that it will be able to open the defense of its counterpart more than twice.
We're betting on Winnipeg's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings with the home team were quite low-level and took place with less than six goals scored. Winnipeg, after a crushing defeat by Vancouver, will also probably try to play defensively and prevent a large number of dangerous moments at their gates. By the way, the guests also spent three of the previous four meetings with a total of less.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.05
