Edmonton has been playing some quality hockey of late. Chris Nobloch's side is starting to look like the team that reached the Stanley Cup Final last season. In their previous eight games, the Oilers made just one mistake: a 5:6 loss to Florida. Since then, the Oilers have twice come from behind to beat Boston and San Jose 3:2 overtime. The results can not but please the fans of Edmonton, and with 42 points in the asset, he takes fifth place in the overall stadium of the Western Conference.

Ottawa hasn't looked like themselves in recent games. The Senators have started to do just about everything, and six wins in a row is an incredible run for them. It's temporary for Travis Green's men, but if they keep it up, they'll have no problem making the playoffs. The day before, Ottawa had a great game against Vancouver, winning 5:4 overtime. Thanks to the winning streak, the team has already jumped into the playoff zone in the Eastern Conference standings - they are eighth with 38 points.

It's not worth worrying about the outcome of this upcoming battle. The Oilers are favorites, but Ottawa has been so good of late that there's no doubting their ability to fight back against the Oilers. What's more, Nobloch's side is coming off a lousy game against San Jose the night before, and their defenses aren't great. In four of the last five meetings between these two teams, the opponents have scored many goals, with a total of (6.5).
