Oilers vs Ducks: Can Anaheim keep their winning streak alive.
The Anaheim Ducks will host the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night at Honda Center.
The Oilers are coming off their first loss in 2024
The Edmonton Oilers were on an epic 16-game winning streak before losing 3-1 to the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights. That was their first loss in a month and a half. Now, the Oilers are sixth in the Western Conference with a 29-16-1 record. They are fifth in the league, scoring 3.46 goals per game, and eighth, allowing 2.46 goals per game. Connor McDavid has another impressive season, being tied for fourth place in the league with 47 assists and a total of 68 points. Leon Draisaitl is not much behind with 58 points.
The Ducks have won the last two games
The Anaheim Ducks are having a disappointing season, even though they have shown a sign of improvement lately. They are 14th in the Western Conference with an 18-30-2 record. The Ducks have won three of their last four games and are coming off a 3-2 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks. Anaheim is 29th in the league, scoring 2.56 goals per game, and 26th, allowing 3.40. Troy Terry leads the team with 37 points, one more than Frank Vatrano.
Head-to-Head
Edmonton has won the last 5 games against the Ducks and 6 of the last 7 played in Anaheim. The Oilers have won 16 of the last 17 games overall and 9 of the last 10 games against teams from the Pacific Division. Anaheim has lost 11 of their last 16 games and 14 of the last 18 home games.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Anaheim Ducks are back in action for the first time after the All-Star break, and this will be their first game in February. They had the momentum, and it will be interesting to see if they can transfer it after the break. However, hosting the hottest team in the league does not look very promising. The Oilers have only one loss in the last six weeks, and they will have no problem defeating the Ducks by covering the -1.5 goal spread.
