Edmonton vs Anaheim Prediction: the Oilers to Make the Maximum of This Opportunity

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Anaheim Ducks match, which will take place on April 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

If they win, Edmonton will get an early playoff ticket, as well as level up with Vegas for first place in the West and the Pacific Division. All in all, the tournament motivation is quite serious. The Oilers are currently second with 97 points in the standings. McDavid and his teammates have recorded four wins in the last five games - two over Arizona, Vegas, and Los Angeles.

Anaheim enters the game with Edmonton after six straight defeats in regulation time. First, the Ducks lost to Vancouver and Calgary, then to Winnipeg and St. Louis, and finally to Colorado and Seattle. With those stats, of course, the Ducks can only fight for the penultimate spot. Thus, with 56 points, Anaheim ranks 15th in the Western Conference.

• Anaheim has failed the last six games.
• Anaheim concedes an average of 4.1 goals per game.

Edmonton is the favorite for the game, which is not surprising. The teams play on entirely different levels, as evidenced by their point difference (97 vs. 56). The Oilers have the most efficient offense in the West. They scored 300 goals in 76 games. The situation is reversed for Anaheim. The Ducks have the worst defense - 306 conceded goals in 75 meetings. So we believe that the visitors do not have a single chance to succeed.
