Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: Teams of different levels meet

Prediction for the NHL Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers match, which will take place on December 1. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Chicago continues their personnel revolution. The Hawks gave up several valuable assets in the offseason, so they will not be facing significant challenges trying to rebuild the roster in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the Red and Black looked decent in their regular season debut, winning four games in six starts, but that was the end of their achievements. In the next 15 games, they won only twice and lost 13 times, reflecting their ambition level more than anything else. In seven games now, the Hawks are winless by one point, dropping to 15th in the Western Conference standings.

Edmonton has slowly continued to progress. The Oilers already made some noise in the playoff last season, but it's hardly enough for them as the club's goal is the Stanley Cup. In the current regular season, the Blue-Orange team is playing more consistently than they did the year before, when they even had to fire the head coach because of the failures. The Canadiens looked particularly good between October and November when they posted five straight wins, and they're in good shape now. In their last two games, they took turns beating the Rangers and Florida 4:3 to move up to seventh place in the standings in the West.

Chicago and Edmonton are completely different teams at the moment. While the Oilers continue to struggle for places in the top half of the Western Conference standings with good results, the Hawks are uncompetitive against the vast majority of clubs in the league and are among the underdogs. For seven games now, the Red and Black have been unable to win, and their opponents often crush them altogether. As a result, a bet on Edmonton's victory at odds of about 1.79 is in order.

Not only has Chicago suffered one defeat after another recently, but they've also been conceding a catastrophic amount of points and playing awful defensively. In their previous six games, the Hawks have allowed their opponents to hit their goal 32 times (.33 on average per game). Of course, the Oilers must benefit from the Red and Black's problems; therefore, an individual total of Edmonton over 4.5 pucks at odds close to 2.8 seems to be the best option for the prediction, and it is worth taking a look at the bet on the total over 0.5 points by Darnell Nurse for 2.00.
