Edmonton OilersThe seven-goal performance last Saturday in Montreal is the Oilers’ highest-scoring game of the season. Moreover, their five-goal lead is likewise their largest margin of victory. The team is clicking on all cylinders. Approaching the more crucial stages of the season, Edmonton is eager to keep its foot on the gas. The Oilers remain on the hunt for a decent position in the postseason. But while it’s relatively early to tell, the team is right on pace to pull off a major comeback. The team is currently placed sixth in the Pacific but is only trailing fourth-placed Calgary Flames by two points, 48-46. Leon Draisaitl continues to lead the charge for the Oilers. With 61 points in 40 games in the season, Draisaitl looks to shift to a higher gear as he aims to maneuver Edmonton to more wins. Players to watch: L. Draisaitl C (G 31, A 30, PTS 61), C. McDavid C (G 21, A 37, PTS 58), R. Nugent-Hopkins C (G 4, A 26, PTS 30). Ottawa SenatorsIn the most technical sense, being unable to score will not win you games. That’s the major issue for the Ottawa Senators. In their last game that resulted in a loss, the team just could not find the mark. The Senators were able to outshoot the Ducks, 45-20, but only managed to score once via Tyler Ennis’ first-period marker. Coach D.J. Smith credited Anaheim’s defense, specifically John Gibson. But while the opponent’s D played a factor, the tactician also rued the fact that his players missed easy looks on the net, saying “we’re having a tough time scoring for sure.” Hosting the Oilers next, the Senators know that they are in for another tough battle. Against a team that is coming off their most prolific offensive outing of the year, Ottawa will need to double their effort on both ends. Players to watch: D. Batherson RW (G 13, A 21, PTS 34), B. Tkachuk LW (G 12, A 15, PTS 27), J. Norris C (G 18, A 8, PTS 26). Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators Betting PredictionsTrends OilersEdmonton are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
