Edmonton Oilers

For the Oilers, the upcoming derby is complicated by the fact that it will be played in a back-to-back format. Yesterday, the team hosted Minnesota on their own ice and failed to do well against Kirill Kaprizov's team. After conceding at the end of the first period, Edmonton fought back in the second period with a goal by Leon Draisaitl. However, at the very beginning of the third period, the Oilers conceded again, twice. Zach Hyman scored on a power play five minutes before the final buzzer, but the Oilers couldn't do much more than that, ending up with an empty net goal - 2:4.

Edmonton lost its second straight game as if still celebrating a recent record for Canadian clubs - a winning streak of 16 consecutive games.

Calgary Flames

The Flames did not play yesterday, and the day before yesterday, they hosted one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference Boston on their ice. Calgary led 2:1 after the first period thanks to goals by Pospisil and Kylington but lost the advantage in the third period. In overtime, the powerful opponent finished off. 3:2 - the winning puck was scored by Nazim Kadri. Egor Sharangovich, who recently signed from Vancouver Andrei Kuzmenko, also scored assists in this game.

Calgary won its second straight victory and maintained its presence in the race for the Western Conference wild card. The team is just three points away from the top-8.

Expert Betting Tips

Stuart Skinner, who missed the previous meeting against Minnesota, will return in goal for Edmonton in the upcoming match. In addition, the Oilers, although they have had a few bad games, have added a lot to their defense in general under the leadership of Chris Knobloch. So, let's bet on TU here.
