This is the second meeting of the season. Edmonton won the first matchup 5-2 on October 7 in Anaheim.
Records, Standings & Recent Form
Anaheim Ducks: 7-7-1 (15 points), mid-pack in the Pacific Division. Strong offense (~3.5–3.6 GF/G, ranking high league-wide) powered by an elite power play (league-leading ~38%). Defense is weaker (~3.7–3.8 GA/G). Last 10: roughly 3-6-1, but they enter on a two-game win streak after a 5-4 road victory at Vancouver on Nov. 3 (Cutter Gauthier hat trick). Road form has been solid.
Edmonton Oilers: 11-2-3 (25 points), leading the Pacific and among the NHL’s top teams. Elite offense (league-leading ~4.0–4.1 GF/G) with strong defense (~2.8–2.9 GA/G). Last 10: approximately 6-2-2. They come in after a 4-3 shootout loss at New Jersey on Nov. 3 that ended a strong road stretch. Home form is strong as they begin a four-game homestand. Connor McDavid continues an extended point/assist streak.
Edmonton holds clear advantages in overall record, defensive metrics, and star power. Anaheim’s red-hot power play is a major equalizer.
