Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
San Jose started with three wins, making the fans believe in positive changes. The Sharks snatched two points from Florida (4:3), Los Angeles (5:4) and St. Louis (3:2). The only failure remains the match against Dallas (0-5).
The main problem of the Sharks remains the quality of the created chances in equal compositions. The situation is compounded by the injury to captain and key center McLean Celebrini. In his absence, the responsibility for organizing the attack falls on Alexander Wennberg and Will Smith.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers show powerful hockey, scoring 22 goals at the start of the regular season. Edmonton's only point loss came in a shootout with Vancouver (5:6). However, very soon they took a convincing revenge from the Canucks (9:7), and then dealt with Seattle (3:1) and Anaheim (5:2).
The Canadian club's offense is striking with efficiency: Connor McDavid (12 points, 3+9) and Leon Draisaitl (9 points, 3+6) create chances in each shift, and the team's shot completion is an impressive 19.6%. The Oilers are especially dangerous in the second period, where they score an average of 2.5 goals.
The history of personal meetings points in favor of the Canadian team. Edmonton has won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches against San Jose and dominates the distance, scoring an average of more than four goals per game in these confrontations. At the start of the season, the Sharks failed to score a single victory in regular time. Even in the native walls of San Jose, it will be difficult to count on success in a duel. The guests have more chances to snatch victory.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win the match by a factor of 1.67
