Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Main Game Info

Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Moneyline Prediction

The Ducks are coming off back-to-back wins over the Vancouver Canucks (5-4) and the Ottawa Senators (6-3). However, that recent uptick in form does little to disguise their struggles in recent weeks. Anaheim has won just three of its last 10 games (3-6-1).

The Oilers have been in better form. Their 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils in their most recent outing snapped a three-game winning run. Edmonton has also won six of its last nine contests, with just one regulation loss over that stretch (6-1-2).

The Oilers have a sizable edge in goaltending based on recent performances, along with the offensive firepower to challenge any defence in the league. They should be able to capitalize on Anaheim’s poor form and defensive issues to secure a home win. Edmonton has also won three of its last five at Rogers Place (3-1-1).

Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Projected Starting Goalies

Ville Husso appears to have taken over as Anaheim’s No. 1 goaltender, as Lukas Dostal hasn’t played in the team’s last three games. However, his numbers have been far from impressive. The Oilers have the edge in net, given that Tristan Jarry has allowed three or fewer goals in his last four appearances, including two shutouts. If Dostal starts instead, Anaheim gets its regular No. 1 back, which narrows the gap.

Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Player Prop

Connor McDavid extended his impressive point streak to 16 games with an assist in Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to the Devils. He currently leads the NHL in assists with 31 in 16 appearances, averaging 1.94 helpers per game. That alone puts him in a good position to reach this line. His steady role on Edmonton’s top line and first power-play unit, along with a career-high 23:31 TOI/G, further strengthens his case.

Although McDavid has gone three straight games without recording two or more assists, he should have plenty of opportunities to hit this mark on the power play. Edmonton ranks third in the league in power-play efficiency (33.9%), while Anaheim sits 20th in penalty killing (74.6%).

Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Total Goals Prediction

The Ducks have been excellent offensively but rank among the NHL’s weakest defences. They sit sixth in goals scored (3.60 per game) and 30th in goals allowed (3.80). The Oilers lead the NHL in goals scored (4.13 per game), but they’ve also allowed the eighth-fewest goals (2.88).

The Ducks’ games average 7.40 total goals, while the Oilers’ average 7.01. Anaheim also leads the NHL in power-play efficiency at 38%. Given the offensive firepower on both sides and their strong power-play numbers, this matchup could produce an open game with plenty of scoring chances.

Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Team News and Injury Report

Anaheim Ducks Team News and Injury Report

The Ducks remain without Troy Terry, who’s expected to return in the coming days from a hip injury. Judd Caulfield has been playing on the first line in his absence.

Other sidelined Anaheim players include Ian Moore (lower body), Ryan Poehling (lower body), and A.J. Greer (upper body). None was expected to have a major role in the lineup if healthy.

This clash is the second stop on a three-game road trip for the Ducks and the first half of a back-to-back set, with a matchup against the Flames scheduled for Friday. The team has had just one day of rest.

Edmonton Oilers Team News and Injury Report

The Oilers are short on goaltending depth, with Devon Levi (undisclosed) and Frederik Andersen (knee) sidelined. As a result, Jarry has been handling a substantial workload as the No. 1 goaltender.

A lack of forward depth is another concern for Edmonton. Although the team has its key players available, it’s missing reliable depth options such as Zach Hyman (neck), Mattias Janmark (undisclosed), and Matt Savoie (lower body). All three would likely fill middle-six roles if healthy.

Edmonton returns home after a three-game road trip, beginning a four-game homestand. They travelled back from New Jersey on Wednesday.
