Before Betting On Oilers vs Blackhawks
Two of the most improved teams in the Western Conference will clash in the NHL on Thursday evening, with both the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers looking to maintain their recent good form. The pressure will likely be more on the hosts, as they have been very impressive since losing their first two games of the season.
Since those two defeats, the Blackhawks have won each of their previous four. So far this season, they have scored 20 goals and allowed just 17. They were able to maintain their winning run earlier this week, as they claimed a 4-2 victory at home against the Florida Panthers. The Blackhawks scored twice in the opening period, before scoring goals in each of the second and third to wrap up the win. Patrick Kane was on the scoresheet in the win, while other efforts were added by Phillip Kurashev, Taylor Raddysh and Jonathan Toews.
Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers also come into this fixture in good form, as they sit third in the Pacific Division. They have won four of the seven games that they have played this term, as they have scored an impressive 25 goals and have conceded just 21.
Like the Blackhawks, they come into this fixture in good form, as they have picked up victories in each of their previous two. The latest win for the Oilers was secured against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night. They scored twice in the final period to secure the win in that game.
