Prediction for Edmonton Oilers - Detroit Red Wings 14 February 2024

Edmonton Oilers - Detroit Red Wings. Canada. NHL. Edmonton. Hockey. - Well, I'll believe Detroit, all right. Still A great team that was in a rebuild for a long time and had no one but Larkin. And now there's Larkin himself, there's Fabbri, Seattle signed a good offensive lineman. Detroit is good enough to make the playoffs this season, and they need to build on that with wins against status contenders like Edmonton. The Oilers have won six games in a row at home, and this season they've won a maximum of eight games in a row at home, and that seventh game went into overtime, so they can boast!

Edmonton and Detroit will meet in the regular NHL championship match on 14 February. The meeting will start at 05:00 Moscow time. "Oilers" from Edmonton scored 61 points, after 48 matches played and located on the 6th line in the Western Conference. The team has 166 booked pucks in its asset, and 134 missed pucks in its liabilities. "Red Wings" from Detroit earned 60 points, after 51 games played and are located on the 8th line in the Eastern Conference. In the asset of the team 180 scored pucks, in the passive - 164 missed. "Detroit" is not a gift and is a pretty tough team. The last two face-to-face meetings between these teams ended in a draw and the rivals found out the winner in overtime. I think that the guests can stand and not lose in regulation time.

If the Detroit Pistons were playing in this matchup, Edmonton would easily unwind their opponent, but here I don't even know.... The Red Wings are showing a decent level of hockey, as evidenced by recent results - since the beginning of January, Detroit has suffered only five defeats, and in most cases they lost to one of the conference leaders. In the last game, for example, Detroit beat Vancouver, who leads the West. There's not much difference between Edmonton and Detroit - Edmonton has only three more points. The last few games have been especially stressful - 2 losses out of 3, 0-4 to Los Angeles

Perhaps the most interesting matchup this night will take place on Oilers ice. Edmonton has made good progress and is almost as good as anyone else in their arena, of course you can complain about the easier calendar and the list of opponents, which is also partially true - but the fact is the fact. Today comes the extremely unyielding and belligerent Detroit. The Wings have gained no less than the best form and at the moment are a real threat to any team in the National Hockey League, and mostly on the road, which will be proven today. I think we will see a lot of goals and Detroit will confirm my guesses that they are much stronger than Edmonton at the moment.
