Edmonton Oilers host Calgary Flames in the first Battle of Alberta of the NHL season on Wednesday, 28 October, with the home side looking to end a two-game losing streak.
Edmonton lead the NHL in scoring, averaging 4.33 goals per game, and have won all six of their regulation victories by at least two goals. Calgary arrive on a four-game winning streak, but their away record has been considerably less convincing.
McDavid has been the standout performer across the league, recording 34 points in 12 games. He has registered at least three points in six appearances, including three of his last five.
Key Stats
- Edmonton are averaging an NHL-high 4.33 goals per game, compared with Calgary's 2.55.
- All six Edmonton regulation wins have come by at least two goals, while all six Calgary defeats have been by two or more.
- Connor McDavid has recorded 3+ points in six of 12 games, with Edmonton's power play converting 35% of opportunities.
Calgary Flames Recent Form
Calgary have won four consecutive games, with goaltender Devin Cooley playing an important role in their improved performances.
Cooley has stopped 93 of 97 shots across his last three starts and is expected to start again against Edmonton. Joel Farabee has also been in excellent form, scoring in three consecutive games and registering a point in five straight appearances. Matvei Gridin has scored in his last two.
However, Calgary have struggled away from home, winning just one of four road games and being outscored 18-8. Jonathan Huberdeau and Samuel Honzek are unavailable, while Mikael Backlund is day to day.
Edmonton Oilers Recent Form
Edmonton enter Wednesday's matchup following consecutive defeats, including a 7-2 loss to Toronto and a shootout defeat against Detroit.
Despite those results, the Oilers remain the NHL's highest-scoring team, with McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading an outstanding attack. McDavid has recorded a point in all 12 games this season, while Draisaitl has scored 12 goals in 12 appearances.
Edmonton's power play has converted 35% of its opportunities, providing another potential advantage against Calgary.
Goaltending remains a concern, however, with projected starter Tristan Jarry recording an .860 save percentage. Mattias Ekholm is also unavailable, while Zach Hyman is day to day.
Verdict
Calgary's run is real, but the Flames haven't faced an attack like this one during it. Give me the Oilers by 2 and McDavid to fill the sheet again.
