Edmonton - Detroit: betting tip (cf. 1.83) and bets on the NHL match

Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

The Oilers suffered their biggest defeat this season, losing to Toronto with a score of 2:7. By the middle of the second period, the visitors had created a three-goal advantage, forcing the hosts to constantly fight back. Leon Draisaitl managed to score twice, including when playing in the majority, but the rest of the hockey players could not support his performance. Connor McDavid scored two assists and extended his scoring streak to 11 games. At the same time, the defense was extremely unsuccessful, and Tristan Jarry did not always manage to cope with the opponent's throws.
Before this setback, Edmonton had won three meetings in a row, beating Carolina in shootouts (6:5), Minnesota in overtime (4:3) and Utah (6:2). The offense looked especially impressive, where McDavid and Dreisaitl regularly scored several points. The former has already scored 33 points in 11 matches, while the latter has scored six consecutive times. However, high performance is often accompanied by problems in defense. In the last two matches, the Oilers conceded 12 goals at once, which clearly does not suit the team.

The Red Wings lost 1-4 to Calgary in the previous match, although they had enough opportunities for a more successful performance. Andrew Kopp scored the only goal for the visitors, restoring equality at the beginning of the second period. However, then the hosts scored three times in one twenty-minute period, practically deciding the outcome of the confrontation. Goalkeeper John Gibson blocked 21 shots, but he failed to correct the mistakes of his partners. It was especially unpleasant for the team to act in the minority, allowing the opponent to realize both majority attempts.
The loss to Calgary ended Detroit's streak of six consecutive meetings with points scored. Prior to that, the team confidently beat Vancouver with a score of 5:2, and also defeated San Jose (4:3). Lucas Raymond and Alex Debrinkat continue to play a significant role in the attack, capable of creating dangerous moments due to speed and good interaction. Dylan Larkin also remains one of the main organizers of the attacks. However, the defense does not always withstand the pressure of opponents, especially when you have to spend a lot of time without the puck. Against the current Edmonton, such problems can seriously complicate the situation of the guests.
Tip and bets
After the crushing defeat by Toronto, the hosts will certainly try to be much more active ahead. Edmonton has the strongest attacking hockey players who are able to create chances in almost every shift. At the same time, the problems in defense have not disappeared, and recent meetings have shown that even with high performance, the team does not always control what is happening near its own goal. Detroit is also able to take advantage of such shortcomings, as it has fast enough forwards and regularly creates chances when switching from defense to offense.
It is likely that the meeting will begin with the active pressure of the hosts, who need to improve in front of their own fans. However, the guests are unlikely to limit themselves solely to defense. The last match against Calgary turned out to be unsuccessful for Detroit, so the team will have additional motivation to show more productive hockey. Given the attacking potential of both sides and the problems with the reliability of defense, we expect a fairly open confrontation. We believe that the opponents will be able to create a large number of chances and score at least seven goals.
