The Oilers hosted Toronto in the previous match after two defeats (from Columbus 5:6 and Boston 2:3) and needed to win. Jay Woodcroft's team achieved significant success. 5:2 – Connor McDavid scored a double, Zach Hyman and Kailer Yamamoto scored a goal, and Klim Kostin scored one puck. Also, Stuart Skinner became the team's main goalkeeper this season with 26 hit shots. Edmonton has confirmed its position in third place in the Pacific Division and is currently two points ahead of fourth-placed Seattle. At the same time, the situation in the West is competitive, so the Oilers can still become a winner of the conference according to the regular season results – the difference from the leading Vegas is only 4 points.

The Jets have lost four times and lowered to eighth in the Western Conference standings. The closest to the wild card, Calgary, is only five points behind Winnipeg, so Rick Bowness's team immediately needs to stop a series of failures and start scoring. 

Winnipeg lost to Los Angeles at home in the previous match - 5:6 by a shootout. Before, the Jets lost twice in regular time to the New York Islanders (1:2 and 0:4) and, also within 60 minutes, lost to Colorado (1:5).

Winnipeg scored only one point in the last four games, dramatically worsening the Jets' standings. In the match against Edmonton, Rick Bowness's team has no right to make a mistake. It is not a fact that Winnipeg will score two points in the end, but at least the Jets can finish with a draw in regular time. The Jets are one of the most grassroots teams of the current season and have the resources to stop McDavid and Draisaitl.
