Anaheim - Edmonton: NHL match betting tip

Current form

After successfully completing the home series and defeating San Jose (4-3 B), Anaheim went on the road, where it began to show terrible results. The team met with Calgary, having suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:4. The defensive line showed itself at its worst, allowing the opponent to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments in his zone. The Ducks tried to compensate for this shortcoming through their own activity in the attack, but out of 27 throws, only one reached the target.

The team played even worse away from Vancouver, where they lost by a four-goal margin. This time, goalkeeper Dostal showed a terrible game, reflecting only 76% of shots. Indeed, the Ducks are struggling to cling to points this season, which is why they have long lost all chances of making the playoffs. The club is only on the 12th line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the eighth position is already 17 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Fabbri, Johnston, McGinn, Truba and Sushanek will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

Current form

Edmonton gained excellent form, which allowed them to earn a winning streak of three matches in a row, which began at home, where they managed to snatch Victoria in overtime (3:2). Next, the Oilers went on the road, where they met with one of the strongest clubs in the Western Conference in the person of Vegas and showed a very reliable defensive game, allowing the opponent to make only 20 shots in three periods. Thanks to this, we managed to win three times (3:2).

It seemed that after such successful performances, the team would not leave any chances for San Jose, but there were problems with the implementation of moments in the attack, which almost led to defeat. Nevertheless, the Oilers coped with the Sharks, gaining the upper hand with a difference of only one goal (3:2). As expected, with such a poor performance, Edmonton was unable to continue its winning streak and suffered a 0:3 dry defeat away from Los Angeles. It is worth noting that the club's position is quite shaky, as its closest competitors are only two points behind.

Disqualifications and injuries

Ekholm, Evander Kane, Klinberg, McDavid, Draisaitl and Skinner will not be able to help their teammates in the upcoming match.
