<h2>Winnipeg Jets vs. Edmonton Oilers Odds</h2>
The Oilers are 33-31 straight up (SU) and have earned 3.5 units for moneyline bettors this year. That winning percentage, ranked third in the Pacific Division so far this season, is a welcomed improvement compared to what the team managed during last year's regular season (35-47). Through 64 regular season outings, 31 of its games have gone over the total, while 29 have gone under and just four have pushed. The team's 15-15 SU at home this year.

Edmonton currently has the second-strongest power-play unit in the NHL, as it's found the net on 28.6 percent of their extra-man opportunities this season. On the other hand, its penalty kill is ranked third overall, and it's successfully killed off 84.1 percent of all penalties.

Edmonton, as a collective unit, has been penalized 3.4 times per game overall this season, 3.4 per game over its last five games total, and 3.6 per game over its last five home outings. The team has been forced to kill penalties for just 7.4 minutes per game over its last 10 matchups, overall.

Averaging 27.5 saves per game with a .911 save percentage, Mikko Koskinen (17-17-2) has been the principal goalkeeper for the Oilers this year. If they, however, choose to give him a breather, head coach Dave Tippett could turn to Mike Smith (17-18-18 record, .903 save percentage, 2.90 goals against average).

The Oilers will continue to rely on leadership from Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. Draisaitl (99 points) has tallied 37 goals and 62 assists and has recorded multiple points in 30 different games this year. McDavid has 31 goals and 56 assists to his name and has recorded at least one point in 43 games.

Mark Scheifele (28 goals, 42 assists) will lead the offensive attack for the visiting Jets.
