The Edmonton Oilers are looking to avoid elimination against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. This series has produced the highest total goals scored, and that trend is expected to continue tonight. It hasn’t really mattered who is in goal for either team; goals have been scored consistently.
Edmonton is coming off a tough overtime loss due to a controversial goal, but that isn’t its biggest concern. While Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have performed adequately, they have not shown the level of excellence fans have come to expect. The Oilers’ depth has been tested, and their defence remains a significant concern. We may see Tristan Jarry start in goal again, although he was decent in Game 4; his overall performance since joining Edmonton has been poor.
On the other hand, Anaheim has had little trouble generating shots and scoring chances. They have received offensive contributions from nearly all their players, including solid production from their defense. Expect another exciting game with plenty of goals.
