EDMONTON OILERS VS. MINNESOTA WILD – 10/22/2019 FREE PICK & NHL BETTING PREDICTION

One of the worst teams in hockey and one of the best teams in hockey face off in this one. The Edmonton Oilers make the trip to the Xcel Energy Center to take on the Minnesota Wild.

The Oilers have won the last two games played between the two teams.

Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers made a coaching change this offseason and they have to be very happy with the results of the start of the season.

The offense has been good but the real strength of this team has been the way the defense has been playing. On the season they are giving up only 2.22 goals per game and on the road it’s even better giving up only 1.80 goals per game.

In this game if the Oilers defense is strong early, they should have a chance to be in the game and come away with a win.

Minnesota Wild

On the other side of this matchup is the Minnesota Wild who have had a terrible start to the season and come into this game with only two wins.

One of the wins was over a terrible Ottawa squad and the other over Montreal who was playing their second game in as many nights.

The offense is averaging only 2.2 goals per game and the defense hasn’t had much success either giving up four goals per game. At home that number is even worse with the Wild giving up five goals per game.
