LiontipsEdmonton vs Winnipeg Jets. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 20, 2021).
Command Analysis
Edmonton gained perfect form by the end of the regular season and were consistently earning points. In seven games, the team has just one defeat from Vancouver (3:6). Goalie Koskinen had an awful game and had to be subbed off in the first period after another conceded goal.
Only the Canucks were able to interrupt the winning streak of the Oilers again. Edmonton played at home, but their ice didn't help them hold back the opponent's pressure. The Oilers allowed the Canucks to create too many dangerous chances, which is why they conceded with a score of 1:4. Anyway, thanks to their excellent results, Edmonton finished second in the Northern Division with 72 points.
Winnipeg have been in a downturn for a long time: they won just one game out of 10 against Calgary. Remarkably, the team couldn't score a single point. Only at the very end of the season did the Jets earn points, beating Vancouver with a crushing score of 5:0. Striker Wheeler gave two assists and scored a double.
The Jets gained the upper hand in another fixture over Toronto, which they played at home (4:2). This time it is worth mentioning the performance of goaltender Hellebuyck, who stopped 34 out of 36 shots.

Tip and bets
Edmonton currently look stronger than their opponent. Although the Oilers have been showing very average results at home lately, they should show their best performance in the playoffs, especially considering that they have never given the opponents a chance to win at Rogers Place.
Our prediction is Edmonton to win.
In the head-to-head, the teams score quite a lot from time to time. However, in the playoffs, each fixture is too important, so the clubs are likely to play more carefully.
Second wager - total under 6 goals
