EDM Oilers vs BOS Bruins Prediction: expect a lot of pucks

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton spent a splendid ten-match stretch. They recorded eight wins with two losses, with a total score of 44:23 - the best indicator in the West for this period of time. Of the failures - a minimal defeat from Vegas (0:1) and offensive from Florida (5:6). Thus, the Oilers moved up to sixth position in the conference standings, three points ahead of ninth-place Colorado. They are five points short of the top three.

Boston started the away series extremely sadly. First they lost to Winnipeg 1:8, and then Seattle (1:5). After such humiliations, head coach Joe Sacco clearly had a preventive conversation with the team, after which things went uphill. In the next game, the Bears looked completely different and managed to defeat Vancouver 5:1 and then take points from Calgary - 4:3.

Here we suggest not to look for a favorite. Yes, Edmonton looks more confident on the back of Boston's disappointing away games, but the Bears can surprise, given that the Oilers' winning streak was broken in the last game. In this pair we expect to see an abundance of goals, especially lately in the matches involving both teams without problems reaching bookmakers’ total over. In general, we suggest betting on the standard total over.
