Oilers Looking to Improve
The Edmonton Oilers, positioned in fourth place in the Pacific Division with a 4-3-1 record, head into this game looking to stay strong. The latest game against the Montreal Canadiens at home, 6-5, was a victory, and they were able to just continuously score the puck. Star Connor McDavd had three assists to lead the way.
Offensively, Edmonton has been doing a solid job at finding the back of the net, averaging 3.00 goals per game, which is tied for 15th in the sport. The Oilers' power play has been at a solid level, converting at a 28.0% clip. Their defensive game shows they are going to need to score to keep up, conceding an average of 3.00 goals against per game, highlighting an area of weakness at this point in the season.
On the goaltending front, goaltender Stuart Skinner is going to need to continue improving in the net for this game and is 2-2-1 with a .909 save percentage and 2.17 goals per game given up. The Oilers need to improve defensively if they want to be successful going forward.

Kraken Looking to Step Up
The Seattle Kraken, playing at a strong level up to this point as they are in second place in the Pacific Division with a 4-2-2 record early on, face a team that is playing at a respectable level. Their recent game at home against the Jets, a 3-0 win, reflects a team that can dominate the game. Center Jaden Schwartz is leading the team with eight points (four goals, four assists). Seattle is going to showcase some depth as four players are on the injury report, with three of them already ruled out for Saturday’s game.
Seattle’s offensive output has been struggling thus far, with the team sitting 23rd place in the league for goals scored, averaging 2.75 goals per game. The Kraken’s power play, operating at a 21.7% success rate, and their penalty kill at 71.4%, highlight areas of the game that are good but not great up to this point.
Goaltending is one of the team’s strong suits, with Joey Daccord doing a good job this year as he is 4-1-1 with a .911 save percentage and 2.56 goals allowed per game.
Injury Report for Seattle

Edmonton Oilers at Seattle Kraken Pick
Spread Pick for Oilers vs. Kraken
- Edmonton Oilers -170 (5 units)
The Oilers are the better team and should be able to hand the Kraken their first home loss of the season. Edmonton is extremely good at not allowing the puck to get to the goalie, with only 23.5 shots on goal against per game this year. They also kill penalties at an amazing level, while Seattle is struggling to do that. Seattle is dealing with some injuries that make their depth a bit questionable at best for this matchup as well. The Oilers have won nine of the last 10 games, so go with the Edmonton Oilers to secure the victory as the better bet.
Over/Under Pick for Oilers vs. Kraken
- Under 5.5 (4 units)
Stuart Skinner and Joey Daccord have been able to step up in the net throughout the season, and these defenses are clicking thus far. Neither team has been too aggressive on the ice in terms of getting shots up, as the Oilers are 14th in the sport with 28.6 shot attempts per game, while the Kraken are 24th with 25.8 so far. Both sides allow many power play goals and Edmonton does not find itself in the penalty box too often. All in all, go with under 5.5 goals for this game here.
