Winnipeg vs Edmonton: The Oilers fail to beat Jets in Game 5 of away series

Another NHL game of the day will see some of the best teams in the Western Conference clash as Winnipeg takes on Edmonton. There are several bets on this high-scoring encounter.

After two straight losses at the start of the season, the Jets only lost one game in regulation time in their next 12 games. The Jets have won 8. Paul Maurice’s team has proved its superiority.

Their meeting with Edmonton will be Winnipeg’s seventh straight home game. The Jets have won 4 of their first six games in a row. However, Winnipeg have lost to their toughest opponents - 0-2 to the Islanders and 2-3 in a shootout to St. Louis.

In the previous game, the Jets were forced to suffer in a game against Los Angeles. The game-winning puck went 3-2 to the Kings in overtime.

While Winnipeg have a home-and-home series, the Oilers continue their road trip. Understandably, Dave Tippett’s team is not without losses away from home. In 4 away games, Edmonton have two losses and both in regulation time. First, the Oilers failed to defeat Detroit 2-3, and then, after beating Boston at TD Garden, they crashed with the same score 2-3 in Buffalo. On the next possession, Edmonton managed to outscore St. Louis 5-4 thanks to a goal from Kailer Yamamoto 28 seconds before the final siren.

Winnipeg have only lost points once in their last 12 games, and it’s not at all believable that it will happen in the game against Edmonton. For the Oilers, the upcoming meeting will be the 5th away in a row, and it is unlikely that the Oilers could save much energy for it. It’s not a given that Winnipeg will beat McDavid and Draisaitl in regulation time, but they shouldn’t win within 60 minutes.

We predict that Winnipeg will not lose again.

• X1 and Total Over 3.5 for 1.80;
• X in regulation time for 4.00;
• Correct score 3-3 for 10.00.
