Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers head-to-head record
In their last five games against each other, the Oilers have won four times against the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest game was a 4-3 win for the Oilers on January 12, 2025. Chicago's only win was a surprise 5-2 victory on October 13, 2024. However, Edmonton has mostly dominated the series with strong defense, which includes a 3-0 shutout this past season. Based on the current season's statistics, Edmonton has a better attack with Leon Draisaitl leading the team, and their goaltending by Stuart Skinner as well as Calvin Pickard is more dependable. This gives them a significant advantage. Chicago is counting on Connor Bedard to boost their offense, but they have had a hard time creating shots and scoring, so getting past Edmonton’s security will be tough. Except the Blackhawks can recreate their strong scoring performance from October, the Edmonton Oilers are likely to win again.
