PREVIEW & TIPS Edmonton Oilers VS Winnipeg Jets
Oil versus jet engines – which is usually a very good combination to get some horsepower off the ground together, is a good combination on Thursday to get some goals in the net – at least statistically. In the last four duels there were an average of 8.25 goals per game and thanks to names like McDavid, Draisaitl, Wheeler or Scheiffele, this series of high scoring games will most likely continue on Thursday.
Edmonton Oilers News
The Oilers season is currently divided into phases. Several victories are usually followed by several defeats, which are followed by several victories in a row. The problem is that these winning streaks can only be achieved against one team: namely against the Senators.Nevertheless, they are still in the top 3 of the division and thus have it in their own hands to reach the playoffs. But the Oilers should urgently win the series against the Jets – the team that is almost tied. As already indicated above, the game of the two teams awaits us with the most similar statistics. Both score an average of 3.32 goals. In terms of goals conceded, the Oilers conceded only 0.05 more than the Jets with 2.94, and there were hardly any differences in the special teams either.
Winnipeg Jets News
The Jets were able to pull away a bit in the fight for the playoff places, but then did not manage to expand this advantage against Montréal. They feel a little like the Oilers. Whenever the decisive leap is possible, their nerves fail. In contrast to the Oilers, however, the Jets have a much more balanced team, which could become a positive aspect, especially as the season progresses.
So they have a total of eleven players in the squad who have already scored double-digit points – in comparison, the Oilers have just seven players with these stats. Above all, her third row around Coop, Lowry and Appleton is miles ahead of Edmonton’s third row with a total of 49 points. Shore, Khaira and Archibald have just 20 scorer points. This depth in the roster often comes into play in back-to-back games. One of these is on Thursday for both teams, as Edmonton competes in Calgary the night before and Winnipeg is still playing against the Canadiens.
