Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton is located in the sixth position of the Western Conference and definitely cannot be fully satisfied with its position. The team can hardly claim fifth place, but it certainly does not want to be below the current position. It should be noted that recently she has not had stable results at all and has lost quite often.
The Oilers barely beat San Jose on the road (3:2), after which they lost away to Los Angeles (0:3) and Anaheim (2:3). Nevertheless, upon returning to home ice, they dealt with St. Louis with a score of 4 in a hard fight.:3. In that match, there was some cool action performed by Connor McDavid, who spent more than 20 minutes on the court and scored three assists.
It is worth mentioning that his faithful teammate, Leon Dreisaitl, is still among the injured, and without the German forward, the attacking game of the Nobloch team is clearly not as easy as before. However, the team still enjoys an excellent numerical advantage and currently has 24.4% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kane, Frederick, Dreisaitl, Klingberg, Skinner, Ekholm, Nugent-Hopkins and Walman will miss the next match.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton wins 51,1% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the oilmen perform 15 power moves per match.
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose, most likely, will remain the main outsider of the championship if it does not pull itself together in the near future and will not be able to improve the situation. At the moment, the Sharks are three points behind their main competitor in Chicago and theoretically can still rise to the penultimate place. However, given the current situation and the results, it will be incredibly difficult to do this.
The Sharks are currently on a seven-game losing streak. After losing to Edmonton, they also lost to Seattle on their ice (1:5) and lost to Calgary (2:3), and in the final away game they played well with Minnesota and brought the matter to overtime, where luck was not on their side (7:8 OT). Nevertheless, Ryan Warsofsky's squad can be inspired by the comeback in that meeting, because then they saved the situation from 4-7 literally in the third period, and Maclean Celebrini scored a hat-trick.
However, it is worth mentioning that the club remains the most skipped in the league and is the only one that has recently surpassed the 300 goal mark. As a rule, San Jose allows its opponents to score at least four times on average at foreign venues.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rutta, Couture, Mukhamadullin, Dearne and Ferraro will not play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose gets an average of 8.58 minutes of penalty time.
- Sharks win 47.8% of face-offs

In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.77The 3rd periodbet: the guests will score
In three out of five matches, the visitors scored in the third period.
1.72Tip and bets
We would not completely write off San Jose in this confrontation. The Sharks have looked good in many past matches, and in the last face-to-face match they put up a tight fight for Edmonton and almost brought it to overtime. The Oilers are currently having huge roster problems, and they are playing without a number of key hockey players, with the exception of Connor McDavid. Victories are given to the hosts with great difficulty, so we suggest playing the sharks handicap.
Prediction - San Jose wins with an Asian handicap (+2.5) on goals in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has shown modest performance lately and usually has not scored more than three goals. In this confrontation, we are offered the option to bet that the Oilers will score less than five goals. Of course, San Jose remains the most skipping club, but it's hard to believe that the Oilers can score so much in such a state.
We're betting on Edmonton's individual total of less than 4.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
The teams have already met twice this season, and in both cases we did not see more than five goals in their performance. Edmonton tries to win head-to-head matches with San Jose in the classroom and do without unnecessary risk. By the way, the last four out of five matches involving the home team also ended with fewer than five goals scored.
We take a total of less than 6.5 goals for 1.80
