Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton remains one of the main leaders of the Western Conference and currently sits on the second line of the standings. Of course, the team will not be able to claim the first place in the near future, as it is seven points behind Winnipeg, but it will certainly make every effort to get closer to it. She can do it, given her potential.
The "Oilmen" had previously had fairly good results and had reserved many meetings for themselves. Not so long ago, of course, they faced a series of two failures. Let's remind that the club lost to Detroit (2:3 B) and Toronto (3:4) on its ice, but subsequently proved its superiority over St. Louis (3:2 OT) on the road, and also not without problems, but still dealt with Chicago with the score 4:3 in overtime. It is noteworthy that in the confrontation with the hawks, Chris Nobloch's team almost missed their two points, as they had a comfortable advantage, but unsuccessfully played the last minutes of the third segment. Fortunately, Zach Hyman took great advantage of his moment in extra time and brought the team victory.
If we talk about Edmonton's game at home, then before that he had shown pretty good results and had already managed to win 13 victories within 60 minutes. As a rule, the Oilers are most powerful in the second half of the game, in which they have a 71:43 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
The club has no serious problems with the squad, and only Evander Kane will not be able to help his team in the upcoming confrontation.

- According to statistics, Edmonton makes 33 shots on target.
The Oilers demonstrate an active offensive game throughout the season and try to threaten the opponent's goal from any position.
- According to statistics, Edmonton gets 6.43 minutes of penalty time per match.

Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado currently occupies the sixth place in the Western Conference table and is steadily staying in the playoff zone, but this fact cannot fully suit him, since the club initially planned to complete the regular part of the championship among the leaders, but recently it has completely failed to produce stable results. Let us remind you that previously, at best, the team managed to get by with two wins in a row or alternated successful fights with defeats.
The Avalanches literally defeated St. Louis (5-0) on their ice, and also confidently dealt with Philadelphia (2-0), in both cases remaining without a single missed puck. However, already in the away match with Vancouver, they themselves could not open the defense of their counterpart even once and lost with a score of 0.:3. Fortunately, in the final meeting with Calgary, Jared Bednar's squad pulled themselves together and beat a difficult opponent with a score of 4:2, having an amazing second half, during which they scored three unanswered goals, as a result of which they confidently brought the matter to a victorious end.
In that match with the Lights, there was also a puck played by Cale Makar, who remains one of the main scorers in the squad and has already earned 60 points in the goal+pass system. On the road, Colorado, in general, performs a little more successfully than on the home arena, and up to this point has already managed to win 16 victories within 60 minutes, and on average has opened the opponent's defense at least three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pullman, Nichushkin, Wedgwood, Landeskog and Manson will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado gets 6.71 minutes of penalty time per match
The Avalanches are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and are generally well disciplined.
- According to statistics, Colorado wins 45,2% of face-offs
According to this indicator, the club remains one of the worst in the league today.

In three of the four matches against Colorado, the hosts kept the second leg behind them.
2.40Tip and bets
It is difficult to single out a clear favorite in this confrontation, however, in our opinion, Edmonton still looks preferable to its counterpart. The Oilers have already managed to deal with the avalanches twice before this season, and in both cases they looked more than convincing. In addition, the Oilers have excellent results on their ice and have been delighting fans with a vibrant and high-quality game throughout the season. Plus, they haven't lost to the Avalanche in their home arena for a long time. Based on this, we suggest betting on the success of the hosts.
Forecast - Edmonton's victory in 2.05
Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six goals scored in this match. Clubs rely on open hockey and are used to operating on opposite courses, so duels with their participation are often productive and take place with a large number of goals. By the way, the last three out of four meetings between the teams also ended with at least six goals scored.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.60
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has demonstrated a decent offensive game in many meetings and has scored no less than four goals. The Oilers have also scored at least four goals in the last two matches against Colorado this season. The Avalanches miss quite a lot in meetings with similar opponents and cannot cope with their powerful offensive line. It is likely that this time we will see Nobloch's team playing at least four goals.
We're betting on Edmonton's individual total of more than 3.5 goals per 2.00
