Edmonton wants to again take one of the leading lines in the West, as it was last year, but so far this is not possible. The team needs a long streak of wins and it cannot win more than two games in a row. For example, the Oilers recently lost to Minnesota (1:2). Fortunately, in the last meeting they proved their superiority over Nashville with a score of 6:3. The team of Jay Woodcroft continues to demonstrate a rather weak game in defense and usually allows the opponent to score at least three or four times. This is due to the fact that the Oilers are too carried away by the attack and simply do not have time to return to their own zone to help the goalkeeper.
Louis is 12th in the West and has a combined 27 points. The team is having a far from the best season and may well be left without a place in the playoffs this year. Victories usually come to them with great difficulty. Recall that at the home arena, the Blues lost two points in the confrontation with Colorado (2:3), but in the meeting with Nashville they celebrated success with a score of 1:0 in overtime. Like Edmonton, the Notes have a terrible defensive game and are one of the most lethal clubs in the conference. The worst in the performance of Craig Berube’s team are the second and third periods.
