Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton currently occupies the sixth position in the Western Conference and it is far from certain that it will be able to improve its position in the standings in the near future. The fact is that the team was left without its leaders in the person of Draisaitl and McDavid, and without them it cannot demonstrate the same efficiency as before.
That is why the oilmen failed in three of the previous four meetings. They lost at home to Winnipeg (3:4 OT), then defeated Seattle (5:4) in the fight and, losing to Dallas (3:4), went on the road, where they fought Kraken again and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:6. In the final meeting, the Oilers completely failed the second leg, during which they missed four unanswered goals, so they could not return to the game.
By the way, Chris Nobloch's team still relies most on the second period, since it works best on the far benches. As a rule, the club makes excellent use of the additional free space and it is no coincidence that it has a 91:68 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded in this segment.
Disqualifications and injuries
Frederik, Draisaitl, McDavid, Kane, Skinner and Ekholm will not participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Edmonton conducts only 14 power moves per match.
- Oilers win 51% of face-offs

Calgary Flames

Current form
Calgary is currently on the tenth line of the Western Conference and has earned a total of 79 points. The team has a real chance of reaching the playoffs this season and is trying to take advantage of them. She's been showing her best lately, and she's even been able to pull off a four-game winning streak.
On the road, the lights dealt with New Jersey (5:3) and the Islanders (4:3 OT), but after a home victory against Seattle (4:3 OT), they were defeated in the confrontation with Dallas with a score of 2:5. In the last match with the sheriffs, Ryan Husky's wards were much more active than their counterpart and scored a total of 48 shots, but the implementation of the moments that day left much to be desired. In addition, the goalkeeper, Dustin Wolf, also played unsuccessfully, who missed five shots in just 19 shots.
However, playing defense has never been the Flames' strong suit. In addition, they are showing rather mediocre results at foreign venues this season and expect to play more at home. So, for the entire season on the road, the club won only 11 victories during regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirkland, Manta and Zari will not be able to participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Statistically, Calgary gets 9.45 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Calgary wins 45.9% of face-offs

1.82The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In the last four games against Edmonton, the visitors have kept the second leg behind them.
3.30Tip and bets
In our opinion, Calgary can claim success in this confrontation. Edmonton is now far from its optimal form and has previously shown rather mediocre results both at home and away. The oilmen continue to play without their leaders in the person of McDavid and Dreisaitl, so they cannot fully reach their potential. Plus, the Flames are an uncomfortable opponent for the hosts.
Betting Tip - Calgary wins in 3.00
Betting on an individual total
In the previous four meetings, Edmonton had conceded at least three goals. The Oilers demonstrate a rather weak defensive game throughout the season and usually allow the opponent to score at least three times. Calgary, in turn, uses its moments well and scores a lot in matches with similar teams, so we suggest betting on its individual total.
We're betting on Calgary's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.82
Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six goals scored in this matchup. The teams prefer to operate on opposite courses, so many meetings between them turn out to be spectacular. Both Edmonton and Calgary are not afraid to concede an extra goal, as they can score a lot more in return. By the way, the last match between them also ended with six goals.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.70
