Edmonton have already played five friendly matches, in three of which they celebrated success. Let us remind you that the oilmen even dealt with the newcomer of the League in the person of Seattle (6:0), but later lost to Winnipeg (1:5) and the same Kraken with a score of 1:2 in overtime. However, in the repeated confrontation with the Jets the team again won the 4:3 victory. In the match against Winnipeg, Leon Dreiseitl and Connor McDavid, the main stars of the Oilers, appeared on the ice for the second time. The German forward scored two assists, while the Canadian chalked up one assist. Edmonton made it clear that the concept of his game has not changed compared to last season.
Colorado had a good season and were absolutely ready to fight for the Stanley Cup. But in the confrontation with Vegas in the second round of the playoffs, the team still failed and ended their performance. In their debut friendly match with the same knights, the avalanches also lost with a minimal lag of 3:4. But it must be said that Colorado is still not in the first line-up and some key players are missing. For example, we have yet to see Nathan McKinnon and Logan O’Connor in action. If they go on the ice in the upcoming meeting, they will significantly strengthen the game of their team. More NHL win predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
