Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton are eighth in the West with a total of 26 points. The team had won three games in a row, but in the last outing, they lost to Minnesota with a score of 3:5. Before that, the Oilers beat the Rangers (4:3) and Chicago (5:4) away. The team doesn't look convincing this season and mostly wins by one goal or outside regulation. Jay Woodcroft's team is unreliable on defense and usually concedes three or four goals per game.

Only San Jose best the Canadiens in regulation (0:4). In the following game, Montreal bounced back and defeated Calgary (2:1), and Jake Allen made 45 saves. Usually, the team concede three goals per game.
