The Oilers are coming into this game finishing the regular season with 104 points, a 49-27-6 record overall, and they were 28-12-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak.

The Oilers are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They are leading the series 2-1 and have already flipped the home advantage in this series in their favor with a win on the road in game 2. They lost game 1 of this series 9-6 but they were still the better team in that game, going down 5-1 at one point but coming back to tie it and that was a game they could have easily won if their goaltending was better. They have been getting better performances from their goaltending though and the Flames have been struggling as Markstrom has not been playing well recently. The Oilers have been the better team in every game so far and in their first home game of this series, they took advantage of it and ran away with the game. The Oilers have had a much better offense in the playoffs this season than the Flames have had and defense really means nothing in this series as both teams have been scoring goals with their potent attacks like no tomorrow. The Oilers have the edge here being at home though and their offense has been much better and more consistent than the Flames throughout the whole playoffs. The best bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

“They have home-ice advantage right now. We’ve got to win one game here to get it back. We could’ve lost 10-0 tonight. We could’ve lost 1-0 in overtime. It’s the same result. We were in this position last series. It’s not that hard of a recipe to figure out here.” - Matthew Tkachuk after their loss against the Oilers in game 3 on Sunday.

 

 

“I didn’t know Evander Kane at all. What I’ve learned is he is a hockey player with really, really good habits.” - Jay Woodcroft on Evander Kane after his team’s win against the Flames in game 3 on Sunday.
