Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Winnipeg Jets match which will take place on October 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton is making another run at the Stanley Cup, but with each season, their chances of success seem less and less likely. In last year's playoffs, the Oilers reached the second round, where Vegas eliminated them in six games, 4:2. The debut of Edmonton in the current regular season is not in their favor, as in the first meeting, they lost to Vancouver - 1:8, then again failed to cope with them - 3:4, there was a victory over Nashville - 6:1, but the day before there was a defeat from Philadelphia - 4:1.

Winnipeg had a good season by their standards, reaching the playoffs but falling to Vegas in the first round and losing the series in five games, 5:1. The Jets have had a poor start to the regular season, winning just one of their four matches, a 6:4 victory over Florida, and losing 5:3 to Calgary, 5:3 to Los Angeles and 5:3 to Vegas. These poor results leave the Canadiens in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

Edmonton and Winnipeg have a similarly poor start to the current regular season. Both teams have just one win from their opening four games and have lost three times in regulation time, leaving them in the end three in the Western Conference with two points. That makes the match more crucial, and the Jets are the favorites. 

We can expect a high-scoring game. In the last four meetings, Edmonton and Winnipeg had 29 goals (an average of 7.25 per game). Both teams struggled defensively in the regular season opener, with the Oilers surrendering 17 pucks (4.25 per game) and the Jets 19 (4.75 per game) in four games.
