Edmonton Oilers – Winnipeg Jets: Initial situation
The Edmonton Oilers had a tough ending of the last season failing only one game away from winning the Stanley Cup. They are going into the 2024-25 campaign hungrier than ever. The Winnipeg Jets have been building a respectful team for years now, and this may be the season when that will bring them significant success. However, both teams are ready to go and we are about to see an interesting game at the Rogers Place.
Edmonton Oilers Stats & Form
The Edmonton Oilers are coming off one of the most successful seasons in franchise history but they are still with a bitter taste in their mouth after losing the decisive game in the Stanley Cup series. The Oilers finished the regular season fifth in the Western Conference with a 49-27-6 record, but everyone was aware of their power. During the regular season, they went on a 16-game winning streak falling just short of the NHL all-time record. The Oilers dominated the Los Angeles Kings in the opening playoff round, then came back from 3-2 down to beat the Vancouver Canucks in the second round before passing by the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals. They found themselves 3-0 down in the Stanley Cup final but did not give up and forced a Game 7. There, they failed to the Florida Panthers. The Oilers were active in the offseason but still, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are still the leaders of the team.
Winnipeg Jets Stats & Form
The Winnipeg Jets had an impressive regular season last year finishing second in the Western Conference with a 52-24-6 record, including 25-13-3 on the road. The Jets faced the Colorado Avalanche in the opening playoff round and after winning the first game by 7-6, they lost the next four, and the season was over for them. Shortly after, head coach Rick Bowness announced his retirement and Scott Arniel will step in his place. This will be his first NHL head coaching job since he got fired by the Columbus Blues Jackets in the 2011-12 season. When it comes to the roster, their biggest moves were re-signing Dylan DeMelo, signing Cole Perfetti and buying out Nate Schmidt.

Betting tip and prediction: Edmonton Oilers – Winnipeg Jets (10.10.2024)
It is not easy for the Edmonton Oilers to regroup after losing Game 7 in last season’s Stanley Cup finals but they have no other option but to get back on the ice. Judged by the preseason, the Oilers are not in perfect shape losing five of the eight games in the preseason. The Jets were not much better at splitting their six preseason games, but that may not mean anything, especially for the Oilers. Usually, they end up in the middle of the top half of the conference, but this time, they are expected to go for the top seed in ultimately back to the Stanley Cup. The Oilers will make a statement early on and beat the Jets in a game that will go over 4.5 goals in total.
