With Connor McDavid sidelined, the Edmonton Oilers will lean on their defense in what’s expected to be a low-scoring contest at Bridgestone Arena.
Overcoming adversity is part and parcel of successful teams, and the Edmonton Oilers hit the ice tonight without superstar Connor McDavid for the first time this season.
The offseason changes the Oilers and Predators made have both lineups looking quite different, and both head coaches have had their lines in the blender recently. A lack of offensive chemistry is obvious for both. for the foreseeable future, while Nashville hasn’t been able to hit the ground running with prized offseason acquisitions
Again, the scoring is coming for both teams, but one of the primary reasons I’m skeptical of an offensive explosion tonight is because both teams have positive regression ahead in goal, too.The Oilers have played to the Under in six of their past seven games, while the Preds have gone Under the number in five of their past eight. I anticipate both of those trends to carry into tonight's matchup at Bridgestone Arena.
