Detroit vs. Edmonton: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

By the end of October, the Michigan team is at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Dylan Larkin team has only eight points in eight games and is still struggling to find the right rhythm. Detroit had a great last road trip, where Derek Lalonde men beat Nashville (5:2) and the Islanders (1:0). After returning home, the Wings were successful in a match against New Jersey (5:3), and then failed to beat Buffalo on the road (3:5). The Red Wings conceded two quick goals in the first period, but tied the score by the equator of the match. However, the Reds were unable to cling to the result, having received two unanswered goals.

The hosts have big problems in defense, they still have a negative difference in goals scored and conceded - 23:25. Five times in the previous six starts, the Michigan team conceded at least three per game, while Detroit itself has improved in the implementation of chances. Over the last four matches, the Red Wings have made 14 accurate shots, and Lucas Raymond remains the club leading scorer. Shved scored eight points in the goal + pass system (1 + 7).

Current form

Edmonton can't get out of the basement of the Western Conference standings and is currently one of the main outsiders in the conference. The Canadians have earned only seven points in eight starts, not showing the same strong offensive game that the Oilers demonstrated last season. Connor McDavid team played against Nashville (4:2) and Dallas, and then returned home. On home ice, the Oilers did not finish off Carolina (2:3, OT), but easily dealt with Pittsburgh (4:0). The visitors are gradually coming to their senses and gaining form, but they lack stability in attack.

In the last five games, Chris Knobloch men have scored at least three goals only three times. There are much more problems in defense now. In all games of the season, Edmonton has conceded at least two goals and now the Canadian club has poor statistics on goals - 18:27. The captain of the Oilers scores points per game on average. The main star of the visitors has eight points (3+5) and is 50th in the league scorers list.

Disqualifications and injuries

Evander Kane will not be able to play in Michigan.

Interesting trends for betting

• The Oilers have received eight minutes of penalty time in previous games.

The visitors don't get sent off that often and mostly concede when playing with equal numbers.

• New Jersey blocks 21 shots per game

The Oilers' defenders often sacrifice themselves to prevent the puck from reaching the team goal.
