My Prediction
Edmonton Oilers by 3Let's take a seat in the icebox and chat about this upcoming match with the Seattle Kraken visiting the Edmonton Oilers. Now we've got a tale of two goalies here with Seattle's Joey Daccord boasting an impressive 95.1% save percentage this season. On the Oilers’ side, Stuart Skinner can't quite match up with his 90.1%, but hey, who's counting?
Your top players for the Kraken have been making some noise. Kaapo Kakko is a noteworthy mention with his 8 goals and 20 assists this season. Jaden Schwartz and Chandler Stephenson have been chugging along, each putting up respectable numbers. Evidently, Schwartz needs to work on his plus-minus though, I mean, -1 isn't exactly what you'd write home about. As for the Oilers, Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have been constructing high-rise condos on the score sheet with 35 and 20 goals this season respectively. Now that's some impressive construction work, folks.
Now, these two sewing circles have had 5 past matchups, and every one of them ended with the Oilers walking away with the W while the Kraken probably got some consolation ice cream.
Taking a gander at the regular season records, the Oilers clearly have a case of the warms when it comes to winning, with 31 wins to the Kraken's 22. Not a sight for sore eyes if you're a Kraken fan, I tell ya. And the recent results don't exactly fan the flames of hope for Seattle, with a less than stellar performance in the last 5 games. Meanwhile, the Oilers have been playing rock-paper-scissors and mostly coming up with rock, impressively winning 4 of their last 5 games.
Factoring everything in, we're putting our rubles on the Oilers here folks. Hold onto your mittens for a chilly but exciting game ahead.
