The NHL schedule for next Thursday night will bring an amazing game to be disputed between Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins, teams that are expected to cut off with their irregularity during the mid-season as both are considered as big contenders to battle for the Stanley Cup championship.

On the one hand, Edmonton Oilers have already shown their real level during their most recent games, however they lost their streak of consecutive victories after losing their latest home game against Florida Panthers (5-6). Despite that bad result, the Oilers appear to be one of the happiest teams in the league after recovering Leon Draisatl’s best performance, as he has been able to cooperate with 4 goals and 9 assists during the last 5 games.

On the other hand, Boston Bruins have been able to manage their bad overall performance with good short-term results like the victories they recently got over Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames, but it’s very important to highlight that they still remark as the second worst offensive in the Atlantic Division with just 86 scored goals. In this regard, it’s unbelievable that this team is still depending on David Pastrnak, when they have more young and talented players waiting for a real chance to demonstrate their capabilities.
