Edmonton are desperate to get on a winning run again and with matchups against Vegas and Colorado after Friday’s match (EST) they will need ensure that they get their second consecutive in Utah against superior opposition. 

The Oilers certainly know how to light the lamp, but just have not done it consistently enough from game to game. Connor McDavid is beginning to find his feet again, which is dangerous for the rest of the NHL and he will excel in the environment against Utah. 

McDavid has 9 points in his last 5 games for the Oilers and he will add to that with another multi point game. 

His partner in crime Leon Draisaitl will also need to be in the thick of the action if Edmonton are going to have a successful road trip, so expect the Oilers leading point scorer to pepper the Utah goal with a flurry of shots

  • Edmonton are 6-3-1 on the road this season.
  • Leon Draisaitl has taken 3 or more shots in 5 of his past six games.
  • Edmonton takes the second most amount of shots (33.4) per game in the NHL.
  • Connor McDavid has 9 points in his past 5 games.

Head to Head 


2024-25 Season Results
This is the first time Edmonton and Utah will meet.

Edmonton Oilers Form


The Oilers have enjoyed a 5-day break between matches over the Thanksgiving period, last stepping out onto the ice on November 23, in their confidence building 6-2 win over the New York Rangers, with Connor McDavid leading the charge with 2 goals and an assist.

McDavid is beginning to make his mark once again in the MVP conversation after scoring 5 goals and 4 assists in his past 5 matches, giving him a total of 28 points in 19 games played this season.

Despite the efforts of McDavid and his partner in crime Leon Draisaitl (16G + 4A), the Oilers are still lagging in the Pacific Division sitting in 5th, 6 points back from leaders the Vegas Golden Knights.

An area that really needs to get cleaned up is the special teams. The Oilers rank 27th on the power play with a 15.8% conversion rate, while ranking even lower in 30th on the kill, detering their opponents just 70.9% of the time.

Edmonton Oilers Team News


Zach Hyman is out of the lineup with an undisclosed injury.

Utah Hockey Club Form


Despite being in fifth in the Central Division with a 9-10-3 record, it has to be said that the opening month of the Utah Hockey club’s inaugural season has been a success. Their 21 points are not so far off the pace, but there is obviously some improvement needed.

Consistency has been the killer for Utah who have not won back to back games since starting the season with three consecutive wins. 

Defensively Utah needs to tighten up. Their 22nd ranked offence is not able to outscore their opponents when the game total pushes high. The trend is black and white for UHC, if they hold their opponents to under 3 goals, they win, if not they lose.

Utah Hockey Club Team News


Defenceman Robert Bortuzzo left the ice in Utah’s match against Montreal and is not day-to-day with a lower body injury.
