Columbus vs Edmonton Prediction: the Oilers are Unstoppable

Prediction for the NHL match between Columbus vs Edmonton, which will take place on March 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Columbus

Columbus is struggling this regular season, with only a few games left. The young roster must gain NHL experience for the future. Kent Johnson and Adam Fantilli, two of the team's most promising players, are injured. Pascal Vincent's team has recently achieved good results, winning five out of their last ten games, but they remain in last place in the Eastern Conference standings. 

Edmonton

Edmonton is becoming a team that can contend for the championship in the upcoming playoffs. This season's debut was disappointing for the Oilers, but since the appointment of Kris Knoblauch, their results have improved significantly. They are now on their third long winning streak, the first being a warm-up with eight games in a row. They won 16 matches in a row, setting a record. However, they have lost their last five games in a row and are in fifth place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

The teams are at entirely different levels. The Jackets have been at the bottom of the standings all season and do not have any cup ambitions. The Oilers struggled at the beginning but gained momentum after changing their coach and are now considered one of the top contenders. Recently, they had a bit of a slump, losing their last five games in a row. They also lost their first H2H battle of the season against the Canadian team, 4-1.

It is unlikely that the upcoming confrontation will end in a large score. With the help of instructions and discipline in defense, Edmonton achieved an impressive breakthrough. In the last five meetings, the Oilers conceded only seven pucks, an average of 1.40 per game. Meanwhile, the visitors have a less aggressive offense than before, when their hockey was completely haphazard.
