Edmonton vs Calgary Prediction: the Oilers to Increase Their Series Lead

Prediction for the Stanley Cup Edmonton vs Calgary match, which will take place on May 25. Check the team conditions. Several betting options are available!

Edmonton believes that they have the biggest challenge of the current playoffs. While Jay Woodcroft's team looked timid against Los Angeles, they are crushing Calgary in the second round. In the scoring shootout that took place in the first game of the series, the Oilers lost 6:9. Then they became more reliable on defense, and their first link made a mad move. On the road the team won the second meeting - 5:3, and the day before they took the lead in the confrontation having beaten the Flames - 4:1.

Calgary had a great regular season, but the last time they did well in the smooth part of the season, they dropped out of the playoffs in the first round. The Flames were already close to losing to Dallas in the conference quarterfinals, but still managed to win in overtime of Game 7 - 3:2. Darryl Sutter's side had beaten Edmonton in the first game of the Western semifinals, 9:6, but then ran into trouble. In the second game, they forfeited home court advantage losing 3:5. The day before they could offer nothing against the Oilers - 1:4.

Edmonton and Calgary are teams that rely too much on their leaders. While Connor McDavid's squad looks better with each new game thrashing and terrorizing opponents. Elias Lindholm's squad is still noticeably inferior. For this reason, in the fourth game, the favorites look like the Oilers, against whom the Flames can't find an antidote. As a result, we have to bet on Edmonton's win

• Edmonton has not failed at home during regular time in four games.
• Calgary has won only one of its last six away games.
• Edmonton has beaten Calgary at home in the previous four consecutive head-to-head meetings.

Edmonton vs Calgary have been replete with goals. In a total of seven head-to-head encounters, the opponents have scored 61 goals against each other (8.71 average per game). Goalies in this series do not help out that often, and the defense loses a lot to the offense. So the best option for the prediction seems to be a total over 6.5.

Leon Draisaitl is having another phenomenal season for Edmonton. When the Oilers lost the series to Los Angeles, the Germans were already expecting their top star at the World Cup. However, he decided, along with the Blue and Oranges, that the Stanley Cup was a slightly more important tournament. The 26-year-old player has already earned 19 points (7 goals + 12 assists) in ten games this playoffs. The day before, Leon went crazy with four assisted points in one game. Obviously, he is in great shape, so it is worth betting on the total over 1.5 points of Leon Draisaitl.
