Fireworks are expected on Wednesday as the Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers go head-to-head at Honda Center. Anaheim’s exciting offense will go up against Edmonton’s lackluster defense.
The Oilers have a new head coach, Mike Babcock, but the team seems to run into the same issue every season. Often they look amateurish in defense, and Edmonton’s goaltenders always seem to struggle, no matter their quality — Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi allowed a combined 13 goals in the first two games of the season.
In Game 3 against the Seattle Kraken, Edmonton improved notably at the back and won 3-1. However, the Kraken have never been known as prolific scorers. It’s a much different story with the Leo Carlsson-led Ducks.
Carlsson has become only the second player in Ducks history to record as many as five points in the first two games of the season. With him in top form, Anaheim has scored seven goals against Vegas and Florida, two teams with stingy defenses.
On the top line, Carlsson has been perfectly complemented by Cutter Gauthier, who has tallied two goals and two assists. The two rising stars will relish the challenge of outplaying Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Wednesday night.

Our Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
When these two meet, it’s rarely a snoozefest, and Wednesday’s matchup shouldn’t be any different. The Ducks have started the season with impressive results, and Edmonton’s offense can explode at any time.
McDavid and Draisaitl have worked overtime early in the season to keep Edmonton competitive. Their defensive effort improved in the last game, but Anaheim should still get plenty of scoring chances against them.
Our prediction for Anaheim Ducks vs. Edmonton Oilers: Over 6.5 goals.
