Edmonton vs Calgary: prediction for the NHL fixture
Edmonton square off against Calgary on October 17 in the NHL regular season. What to expect from this game? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaThe Edmonton Oilers won the first game of the season against Vancouver in a penalty shootout (3:2). Neither Connor McDavid nor Leon Draisaitl could score, although they actively participated in the attacks and McDavid gave two assists.
Mikko Koskinen remained on the bench, while Mike Smith tended the goal. Perhaps, we will see the Finnish goalie in the goalbox in the upcoming game.
Calgary Flames
CanadaThe Calgary Flames finished only 5th in their division last season and didn't get into the playoffs. This year they will strive to improve their results; the team has a powerful roster and deserve to play for the Stanley Cup.
In the preseason, the Flames struggled to use their scoring chances. In the last two games, they played against the Jets, losing the first fixture (2:3), but getting the upper hand in the return match (3:1). The coaching staff puts a lot of faith in Andrew Mangiapane, who performed excellently last year.
