The Oilers are coming into this game with a 16-10-2 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 games, their only loss in that span coming on the road against the Knights in a 1-0 game. They have played their last 3 games at home and are coming off of close 2-1 win against the Lightning in their last game, but this is a bad spot for the Oilers. They just played 3 straight games at home and they have 5 straight games at home after this so this is a bad sandwich spot for them on the road in a stretch where they play 8 of their 9 games at home. They are going up against a Wild team that is 19-5-4 this season and now leads the Western Conference with 42 points. They are coming off of a 5-4 win in Utah in their last game and they have been playing very well recently as they have won 6 of their last 7 games. Their offense has been on fire in these as well, scoring 5+ goals in 2 of their last 3 games, but their defense has also allowed 2 goals or less in 5 of their last 7 games as well. They have also won their last 3 straight games at home and allowed 2 goals or less in all 3 of those. The Wild already beat the Oilers in Edmonton earlier this season, winning that game 5-3, and they have dominated the Oilers going back to last season as they have won the last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 meetings. The Wild will win this game at home.
