Edmonton Oilers vs Anaheim Ducks Analysis
Oilers have a promising season, with their offense scoring 3.50 goals per match. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have led the top two lines with 56 goals and 83 assists respectively.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Kailer Yamamoto and Zach Hyman have scored 43 goals, 60 assists, and defensemen Darnell Nurse and Tyson Barrie have added 11 goals, 39 assists, and opened up the offense.
While the offense has been excellent, the Oilers defense has struggled this season. They allow 3.38 goals per match, including nine goals in their last two games. Cody Ceci and Darnell Nurse have combined for 4.8 defensive points shares and 138 blocked shots but the rest has struggled, allowing the puck to flow into the offensive zone and finding open shots on goal. Jack Campbell, the goaltender, has had a terrible record with a .877 save rate and a 3.68 goals against average on 513 shots.
With their offense scoring 2.27 goals per match, the Ducks are having a terrible season. The top two lines have been led by Troy Terry and Trevor Zegras, who have combined for 24 goals and 40 assists. However, the offense is struggling.
