As the Oilers prepare to host the Ducks at home, it's clear that both teams have been locking horns defensively in recent games. The Oilers, with an average of just 0.6 goals per home game and the Ducks, managing only 1 goal on their travels, suggest a low-scoring affair is on the cards. The Oilers defense has been particularly stingy, only allowing 1.6 goals per game at home, while the Ducks are conceding an average of 3.2 goals on the road. This defensive prowess at home, coupled with the Ducks' struggle to light the lamp on their travels, gives us the confidence that this game won't see more than 9.5 goals. Let's not forget, these clubs have shown a knack for tight games, especially against each other, with their last five encounters leaning towards the Ducks, but by slim margins. So, it's a solid call to anticipate a low-scoring battle in this faceoff.
