Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: Expect a productive match

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 10. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anaheim Ducks

Anaheim is one of the league's underdogs in recent years, who can't even try to make the playoffs. The current regular season is no exception. At the turn of October and November, the Ducks surprised the hockey community by winning six straight, but that stretch remains their best of the season. They followed that up with an even longer losing streak, but the next successful stretch took a long time. It happened before the All-Star break: in their last four games, the Californians beat Buffalo 4:2, Minnesota 3:2, San Jose 3:2, and they lost to Dallas in overtime 3:4. That was enough to keep them in 14th place in the Western Conference standings.

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton's winning streak is over! The Oilers gave a phenomenal stretch of 16 consecutive wins but never reached the NHL record, breaking the franchise record almost twice. The successful stretch for the Blue and Orange had ended the day before, when they lost to Vegas 1:3 on the road, with Connor McDavid opening the scoring in the fifth minute, playing in the minority, but they failed to keep the lead. There's no point in remembering how poorly the Canadian team started the regular season, so they had to change the head coach. Now, Edmonton is sixth in the Western Conference standings and intends to play in the playoffs.

Expert Betting Tips

Just a couple of months ago, Anaheim and Edmonton were floundering together among the league's underdogs, showing terrible quality hockey. Nothing has changed for the Californians since then, but the Oilers have made tremendous progress since the change of head coach, producing two bright and long winning streaks. Now, the Blue and Orange are comfortably inside the playoff zone, with the highest level of ambition.

Edmonton has not only regularly beaten Anaheim in recent years but has also been extremely productive offensively. In the previous nine head-to-head meetings, the Oilers sent 52 pucks into the Ducks' net (5.78 per game on average), with the Canadian team scoring at least six times in seven of the nine meetings. The Blue and Orange broke a great winning streak the previous day, so now they can exhale a little and enjoy hockey.
