Next Thursday night will be a key date for the Edmonton Oilers, as they are just one victory away from reaching the top spot in the NHL Pacific Division, an achievement that looks tiny in comparison to the main objective of this franchise, which is lifting the Stanley Cup at the end of the season. Back to the present, the Oilers are favorites to defeat the New York Islanders next Thursday night, as the Islanders’ roster seems very limited in comparison to the Oilers.
Additionally, the New York Islanders currently are the worst team in the Eastern Conference after losing their first three games of the regular season, it being worth noting that they have scored more than two goals only during their 3-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Another relevant fact to note is that none of the Islanders’ players have scored more than one goal, so most of the expectations fall on Kyle Palmieri and Matthew Schaefer.
Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers faced many difficulties during their first road game of the regular season, because even though they earned a 2-0 victory over the New York Rangers, they were only able to take 22 shots on goal. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Leon Draisaitl was completely nullified at Madison Square Garden, so he must try to regain his offensive presence for this game by getting his name on the scoreboard.

Our New York Islanders vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
Despite being heavy favorites to win this game, the Edmonton Oilers would commit a big mistake if they underestimated the New York Islanders; however, it’s a fact that the Oilers will most likely show a more competitive level in comparison than the one they showed during their road game against the Rangers.
To conclude, the New York Islanders currently have one of the weakest rosters in the entire league, and even though they are expected to win some games throughout the season, there are very tough rivals like the Edmonton Oilers that appear to be almost impossible to defeat in their current situation. Therefore, the pick for the Edmonton Oilers – New York Islanders is: Total Shots on Goal by Connor McDavid – Over 2.5!
