The home team has won the last three games played between the two teams. The Oilers headed into Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning with a 7-5-0 record overall. In the last game against the Dallas Stars, the Oilers defense gave up six goals and that led to the four-goal defeat. They allowed Jamie Benn to score three goals. The Oilers are averaging 3. 8 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 3. 5 goals per game. They are allowing opponents to shoot 34. 89 shots on goal per game, and that needs to be improved upon here.
Edmonton also still has Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman that, while not as talented as Stamkos and Point, are still threats and forwards that play hard. More Game Thoughts and Musings When I look at this Edmonton Oilers roster, I feel like there are still some questions down the depth chart. They have an amazing top end, and have bolstered their second line a bit in free agency. Their defense has a couple of very solid contributors at the top with Darnell Nurse and Tyson Barrie and they’re getting good contributions from 23-year-old Evan Bouchard who broke out last season with 43 points in 81 games, with only 7 of his points coming on the power play. The goaltending though? Talk about a Jekyl and Hyde situation in net for the Oilers.

The Lightning have an all-time record against the Oilers of 19-18-3 with two ties. The last time these two teams met, the Lightning lost 4-1 in Edmonton, but had won the previous five games before that. Over their last 12 games against the Oilers, the Lightning have a 9-2-1 record. The Edmonton Oilers are on the second half of a back-to-back after facing the Washington Capitals in Washington last night, while the Lightning have had a couple days off after playing against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.
The Oilers' offense is ranked 3rd in the league. On the other side of this matchup is the Lightning, who sit with a 7-4-1 record overall, and they are coming off another win in the last game. The Lightning scored five goals, and that led to the two-goal victory. Nikita Kucherov scored one goal and three assists. He also had six shots on goal. The Lightning have scored at least three goals in each of their last five games. The Lightning are averaging 3. 33 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 3.
The Oilers brought in Jack Campbell from Toronto to help them shore up their net situation. Campbell has been mostly a back-up during his career, but was the started for the Maple Leafs last year where he had a roller coaster of an up and down season. Through eight starts, he has a 5-3-0 record, which isn’t bad. What is bad? An. 874 SV%, 4.
a team with a road winning% of greater than. 600. There is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. The Oilers' offense is averaging 3. 83 goals per game, but their defense has been awful, and they are going to really struggle to defend again here. I expect both teams are going to go over 4 goals here, and this game is going to go over the total.
Stuart Skinner was in net for the Oilers last night, so I’d expect Jack Campbell will be playing tonight. Streaks Galore Only Pat Maroon and Corey Perry will enter this game against the Oilers with a point streak against them. Pat Maroon has a five-game point streak against Edmonton, stretching back to the 2018-19 season in two games with the St. Louis Blues. Over that five-game streak, he has recorded four goals and six points. His four-game goal streak against the Oilers was broken in his last game against the Oilers, but he has a two-game assist streak going against them. Corey Perry also carries a two-game assist and point streak against the Oilers into the game with a goal and three points in his previous two games against them. Nikita Kucherov comes into the game with a six-game goal scoring streak, the longest in the NHL so far this season and the longest active streak.

Nick Paul (5), Brayden Point (4), Victor Hedman (3), and Steven Stamkos (3) also have point streaks going. On the Edmonton side, Darnell Nurse has a four-game point streak. Offensive Power Houses With Edmonton bringing Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to town, it’s a rare chance for Lightning fans to see three of the best offensive talents in the NHL on the ice at the same time with Nikita Kucherov joining them. McDavid leads the NHL in goals and points with 13 goals and 27 points. Draisaitl is right behind him in the points race with 25 points to his name. Kucherov is currently tied for third with the Boston Bruins’ David Pastrnak with 20 points.
Kucherov doesn’t get enough credit for his shooting talent, but without a doubt he’s one of the best playmakers and a top right winger in the NHL. And few players in the NHL have a better hockey IQ than Kucherov. With these three on the ice, there’s every opportunity for this to be a high scoring, dazzling offensive game. Of course, you also have one of the best goal scorers of the Salary Cap Era in Steven Stamkos, and an elite center in Brayden Point to add in to the Lightning’s side that can make dazzling plays.

Edmonton Oilers at Tampa Bay Lightning Preview and Game
It’s no question that McDavid is the best skater in the NHL today. He is incredibly fast, he has fantastic edge work that lets him cut and turn at full speed like few other players in the world can manage, and he has the hands and hockey IQ to make the most of every single tool in his tool box. Draisaitl isn’t that far behind McDavid in the conversation when you talk about the best players. Draisaitl has been a better goal scorer than McDavid, though McDavid seems intent on winning a Rocket Richard this year. Draisaitl hasn’t won a Rocket Richard, but he has two 50-goal seasons under his belt and was the 2020 Art Ross and Hart Trophy winner. Kucherov of course is no slouch either. While not as good of a goal scorer as Draisaitl, Kucherov has two 40 goal seasons to his name, as well as the 2019 Art Ross and Hart Trophy.
