It's time for interesting matches in the regular season of the NHL. Edmonton and Nashville will meet in the brightest match of the game day. The game of these teams will take place on January 28 at 05:00 Moscow time at the Rogers Place Arena. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have been showing a good game since the start of the season, especially with regard to the team's offensive leaders, who again actively began to score points in the new championship. The start of the season was held powerfully by the Edmonton players, which was not a revelation for the fans. Now the team is stuck in injuries, which has hit the reliability of the defense and has already led to a protracted series of defeats, but in past meetings the Oilers managed to beat the formidable Calgary and Vancouver.
Nashville Predators
The predators failed the start of the championship, but recently the leaders have started to get in shape and show a good game, which has already borne fruit. Nashville has recently sagged again, giving out a series of defeats, but after that they managed to get together and get a few wins at home, beating Winnipeg and Detroit confidently. On the road, the Predators look a little worse, but in the last match they defeated Seattle 2:4.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this confrontation, because both teams have strong lineups and a well-built game. Edmonton will have home-court advantage, which will give motivation, but there are a lot of injured people in the team, which can negatively affect the game. I think we will have a bright and extremely productive match.
