The Edmonton Oilers (20-11-2) will welcome the Ottawa Senators (18-13-2) to Rogers Place on Sunday night in what promises to be an electrifying matchup between two of the NHL's hottest teams.
Both teams enter the contest riding impressive streaks, with the Oilers winning eight of their last ten games while the Senators have claimed victory in seven of their previous ten outings.
Edmonton's dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl has been instrumental in the team's success, combining for 38 goals and 57 assists this season, while Ottawa's offensive charge has been led by Tim Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk, and Drake Batherson, who have collectively contributed 40 goals and 64 assists.
The game features a compelling contrast in strengths, with Edmonton's high-powered offense averaging 3.28 goals per game facing off against Ottawa's sturdy defense, which has limited opponents to just 2.81 goals per game.
While the Oilers have dominated on home ice and boast the momentum advantage, the Senators' recent surge and balanced attack make them a formidable challenger in this cross-conference battle.
