Oilers vs Wild Key Stats
With their attack heating up and scoring 3.64 goals per game, including 13 goals in the last two games, Edmonton is having a fantastic season. The league's top two scorers, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, have 44 goals and 56 assists between them.
The offense has been excellent, but the defense, which allows 3.46 goals per game, needs to get better. However, the rest of the team has failed, allowing opponents to carry the puck into the offensive zone and find open shots on goal. Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci have combined for 97 blocked shots.
With their offense moving up and scoring 3.07 goals per game, Minnesota is having a fantastic season. The top two lines, Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, and Joel Eriksson Ek, have combined for 36 goals and 49 assists, but the rest of the attack has also contributed.
Although the defense has struggled, giving up 3.07 goals per game, the attack has improved. While the rest of the team has struggled, Jared Spurgeon and Jacob Middleton have combined for 3.6 defensive point shares, which has allowed opponents to easily find open shots on goal.
Oilers vs Wild Betting Prediction
With Darnell Nurse, Cody Ceci, and the rest of the defensive corps stepping up at the blue line and blocking rush angles to the net while restricting shots on goal, Edmonton should limit Minnesota's attack, allowing goalkeeper Stuart Skinner to make plenty of significant stops.
Edmonton should prevail in order to make their winning streak three games long and offer fantastic odds as away underdogs in the process.
Pick: Edmonton Oilers +105
