Edmonton Oilers vs. Minnesota Wild Analysis
Looking at the NHL injury report is a good place to start in this game, and you are going to see a big name listed. Edmonton will be without superstar Connor McDavid on Tuesday night, and that’s a massive blow.
McDavid always seems to put up some great NHL player stats, and he leads the Oilers with six assists. Leon Draisaitl stands out with four goals and nine total points, showcasing his impressive performance this season for the Oilers.
Edmonton allows an average of four goals per game, indicating a defensive weakness that needs addressing for improved performance. Oilers want to capitalize on chances, but they must improve defensively to maintain their performance in the long run.
Momentum can matter when making NHL picks, and the Wild are not coming into this game with much momentum at all. The Wild have dropped two straight games, and they are actually giving up more goals than the Oilers.
Joel Eriksson Ek’s season: 4 goals, 3 assists. He’s become a key weapon for the Wild, contributing significantly to their success. Minnesota has a ton of offensive weapons, and they won’t be afraid to push the tempo in this one.
