The first round of the NHL playoffs has been such a rough experience for the Edmonton Oilers, who are far from being serious contenders for the Stanley Cup this season. Despite this, they have shown great resilience after extending their series against the Anaheim Ducks with their most recent 4-1 victory, so this Thursday night they will face an excellent opportunity to tie the series.
In this regard, it’s worth mentioning that the Edmonton Oilers’ defense has conceded three or more goals in four of the five games played, and while they got a dominant victory over the Ducks in Game 5, they were only able to shoot 20 times on goal. Furthermore, it cannot be ignored that Leon Draisaitl has only been able to score 3 goals throughout the series.
As for the Anaheim Ducks, this sixth game of the series will definitely be the most significant game of the 2025/26 season, so they are expected to take advantage of playing at home to regain their offensive effectiveness. With this context in mind, it's worth noting that the Ducks scored three or more goals during the first four games of the series, but only Leo Carlsson was able to shoot more than 20 times on goal after five games played.
