Edmonton battles to start the playoffs at home

The home team is currently defending 5th place in the Eastern Conference. They are 3 points behind 4th place Winnipeg and have 2 games to play, so they are in a better position and have everything in their hands. Edmonton is more successful in home games this season, but they are not too far behind in away games. However, starting the playoffs at home is always considered an advantage. Moreover, the Oilers currently hold a streak of 5 home wins in a row.

The team’s most productive man Connor McDavid (130 points) is already 9 points behind the NHL’s leading scorer Nikita Kucherov. However, the Canadian center may not start the game as he is suffering from an unspecified lower body injury. Needless to say, Edmonton with and without McDavid are 2 different teams.

Las Vegas is still on the verge of advancing

Unlike their opponent, the Las Vegas Knights are not yet assured of advancing to the knockout stage, but they are very close. a 5 point lead over St. Louis is hopefully enough with 4 games remaining. A win at Edmonton would bring Tomas Hertl’s new team much closer to the playoffs, one could say it would be a qualifying win.

The Czech center returned from a long injury in the game against Vancouver and made his first start in his new job. He was on the ice for 20 minutes and 20 seconds and managed to score his first point, namely an assist on Noah Hanifin’s goal. It’s important for Hertl to get his legs in shape for the knockout stages. Jonathan Marchessault is the team’s most productive man with 67 points.

Betting tip – Edmonton to win

In the overall record of the clubs, Edmonton has won 14 times and Las Vegas 13 times. The following duel will probably be dominated by the home team again thanks to the excellent home form. In the last 4 games, the 5-goal mark has been surpassed 3 times, so we can expect these throws this time as well. Leon Draisaitl is one of the most productive players in the league and is a sharp shooter on the power play. He should score a goal this time as well, if McDavid doesn’t really come in, the team would be standing on his performance.
