Tampa Bay Lightning and Edmonton Oilers head-to-head record
The game between the Oilers and the Lightning may be hotly contested based on their previous five meetings. Three of the previous five meetings have been won by the Oilers, who most recently defeated them 2-1 on the eleventh of December 2024. But the Lightning additionally showed their ability to score, most notably during their back-to-back victories over Edmonton last season (7-4 and 6-4). The Oilers have managed to win close games, winning three of the past five contests by a single goal. Tampa Bay may have the advantage if they can duplicate their high-scoring efforts from the previous campaign, particularly at home, in which they have excelled. Edmonton's track record of grinding out close victories, however, indicates that this game might go either way and may ultimately depend on the performance of the special teams and goaltending.
