Avalanche vs Oilers

The clock is ticking for this [Avalanche](https://www.covers.com/sport/hockey/nhl/teams/main/colorado-avalanche) team — if the season ended today, they’d miss out on a wildcard spot. There should be no shortage of shots on goal, and neither team can feel particularly confident that their goaltender will be up to the challenge. The numbers point to a high-scoring duel too. I’m expecting Edmonton to bring its A-game tonight, especially with the chance to gain a measure of revenge for its disappointing postseason exit at the hands of Colorado. Colorado has won the last four meetings but is 0-4 in its last four games against Pacific Division opponents. Edmonton had squandered a two-goal lead against the Kraken on Tuesday but was never in danger of repeating that collapse. Jack Campbell had a better night on Thursday between the pipes and Edmonton flew out of the blocks with a dominant first period, recording 15 shots on net.

- It’s a rematch of the Western Conference Finals, but the Avalanche are missing a few pieces. Can the Oilers string a pair of wins in a row? Jack Campbell picked up his first win in three weeks, and the Oilers picked up two big points in the standings.

COL EDM 5 – COL 6 (OT) EDM 6/6/2022 The Edmonton Oilers continue to get incredible production from the NHL’s leading point-getters in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, along with strong seasons from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman (who both have 40+ points). Francouz has missed the last ten games, so Alexandar Georgiev has played them all, and he’s surrendered at least three goals in five straight. Subsequently, the Avalanche’s 19-15-3 record is shockingly pedestrian after they had the most points in the West last year (119). That doesn’t even mention Valeri Nichushkin, who had 52 points last season, only playing 15 times, and blueliner Bowen Byram has laced them up for just ten contests (and none since November 4th).
