Advantages Why Oilers can win
- Goal differential per game: Oilers 3rd (+1.19), Ducks 22nd (-0.20) of 32.
- In goal: Tristan Jarry (Oilers expected starter, 0.903 save percentage in 8 starts) has been the better goalie lately than Lukas Dostal (Ducks expected starter, 0.872 save percentage in 9 starts), worth about 0.27 goals a game in our ratings.
- Home ice: Oilers play at home, with the last line change; home teams win about 54% of NHL games.
- Team matchup: where Oilers can take advantage. Their finishing (1st of 32) meets the Ducks goaltending (31st), so look for them to bury the chances they get. And their power play (3rd of 32) meets the Ducks discipline (32nd): a chance to cash in on the power plays a penalty-prone team hands out.
- Star matchup: Best skater against best skater, Connor McDavid (Oilers: 9 G, 31 A in 16 games, 24 min a night) has the edge on Leo Carlsson (Ducks: 5 G, 17 A in 15 games, 20 min a night); in goal, Tristan Jarry (Oilers: 0.903 save percentage in 8 starts) has the edge on Lukas Dostal (Ducks: 0.872 in 9).
- The betting market agrees: Oilers 64% to win on the moneyline, after removing the sportsbooks' margin.
- Simulation: Oilers win 3,185 of 5,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Oilers may not
- Due to cool off? Oilers rank 1st of 32 in shooting plus save percentage (1061); numbers that high usually drift back toward 1,000.
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Oilers lose by 3 goals or more.
- Weak spot: Oilers rank 24th of 32 in faceoffs won (54.5%).
- Weak spot: Oilers rank 23rd of 32 in shots on goal per game (25.62).
- Team matchup: where Ducks can push back. Their power play (1st of 32) meets the Oilers discipline (11th), so look for them to cash in on the power plays a penalty-prone team hands out. And their finishing (3rd of 32) meets the Oilers goaltending (10th): a chance to bury the chances they get.
- Star matchup: the key positions lean Oilers on paper, but Leo Carlsson (5 G, 17 A in 15 games, 20 min a night) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
- Upset odds: Ducks win 1,815 of 5,000 simulations (36%). A 64% pick still loses about 4 times in 10. About 21% of the simulations went past regulation.
