The Oilers have one of the best offenses in the league and have done well this season. The offensive unit is well placed with Connor McDavid in the lead position with 34 goals and 43 assists to his name. They will have a huge role to play in the upcoming games as the team looks to get back to winning ways.
Their defense has been poor and needs to improve a lot in the coming games. Goaltenders have not maintained their lines well enough, which is another issue The Oilers are dealing with.
The Ducks haven't done justice to their offensive capabilities and have scored just 93 goals in 41 games of the season. Troy Terry has performed well to lead the team with 12 goals and 20 assists to his name and has been well supported by Trevor and Adam, with 12 goals each.
Their defense is one of the poorest in the league conceding over four goals per game on average this season. Their entire defensive unit looks ineffective and needs excessive changes to improve in the upcoming games.
