Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction: Will the Red Wings be able to fight back?

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings match, which will take place on February 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Edmonton is fighting with Seattle for a place in the top three of the Pacific Division. At the moment, the difference between the rivals is only one point, so in case of a successful performance in the upcoming game, the Oilers have a good chance of promotion. It should also be remembered that Connor McDavid, who has scored 97 points in 54 games, the best result in the league, plays for the Edmonton logo. As for the Oilers' condition, they beat Ottawa (6:3) without any problems in the penultimate game and then lost to Montreal (2:6).

Detroit has pleased its fans recently. Thus, the team has a three-match winning streak, with a total score of 13:4. First, the Red Wings beat Calgary 2:1, then they beat Vancouver twice (5:2 and 6:1). The Red Wings would never see the playoffs again. Toronto finished third by as many as 16 points, a severe margin for an average middle-ranked team. Ahead of their trip to Edmonton, the team has 56 points, sixth best in the Atlantic Division.

In our opinion, Edmonton is the clear favorite to win the game. Detroit is excellent, but they have little to play for in the Edmonton arena. McDavid and company are fighting hard for a spot in the top 3 of their division, and they don't plan on disappointing their fans. All in all, we'd suggest betting on a solid win for the first team.
