Two of the strongest NHL Western Conference sides, like the Minnesota Wild and the Edmonton Oilers, will collide in one of the two Saturday night's main events to be played at 09:00 pm CST. For this game, both teams are expected to deliver their best possible performance to avoid conceding unnecessary advantages in their individual rivalries with the Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights, respectively.
On the one hand, the Edmonton Oilers are currently having a fierce competition with the Golden Knights for the fourth spot in the Western Conference’s standings, so winning their last three games was a wonderful result considering their opponent’s level. However, it should be noted that the Oilers were only able to secure one of those victories in regulation time, so their defense still needs to improve.
On the other hand, the Minnesota Wild is competing with the Dallas Stars for the second spot in the standings, but they currently are having a very related performance to the Oilers, as three of their last four games weren’t defined in regulation time. Additionally, the Wild were only able to score more than three goals in the 60-minute line in only one of their last five games.
