Oilers vs Blackhawks Key Stats
Edmonton's offense averages over three goals per game with the help of contributions from Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Both have over 10 goals and 20 assists this season.
As compared to the offense, their defense has not been at their best this season, conceding over 78 goals so far. It has hampered the advantage that their offense has provided to the team.
Chicago's poor offensive has made them suffer and needs a lot of improvement in the coming games. Jonathan Toews has scored most of the goals with five assists to his name and will play a crucial role in this game.
Their defense is amongst the poorest in the league and needs big changes to get in the best shape for future games. The goaltenders too have failed to manage things in front of goal and the team will need to address this situation in the upcoming game.
Oilers vs Blackhawks Betting Prediction
Edmonton have been impressive in their last 14 games. They have been good, especially in away games and this very record puts them in a comfortable position against the Blackhawks.
Chicago have failed to perform at home, losing the majority of their games here. They are likely to struggle against a better defense and their poor defensive form further puts them in jeopardy in this contest.
Prediction: Take, Edmonton, -1.5(+110)
