New Jersey Devils vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: Who will manage to score points?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 22. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey is very close to the playoff zone. The team needs just one win, and maybe they will be in the top 8 of the Eastern Conference. Now the Devils are content with the tenth place with 34 points. We should also note that the home team's conditioning is not all bright. In the last three meetings, they first achieved a confident victory over Columbus and then suffered two defeats in a row - 1:5 from Anaheim and 2:3 from Philadelphia.

Edmonton is not going through the best times, as evidenced by its position in the Western Conference standings. At the moment, they're 13th and have 27 points. This is due to not being the best form of the Oilers' main star. McDavid has earned only 41 points in 29 games with 11 goals and 30 assists - eighth on the scoring list. Edmonton has not known victory in the last three meetings - 4:7 from Tampa, 1:5 from Florida, and 1:3 from the Islanders.

There is no favourite in this confrontation. Both teams are not feeling their best throughout the regular season, but we like the Oilers a little more. The opponents met on December 11, and the Oilers were stronger then. We also expect to see an abundance of goals. In our opinion, it is best to bet on the second team not to lose.
