Nashville Predators vs Edmonton Oilers team news

Nashville Predators team news & key players

Filip Forsberg and Ryan O'Reilly have been key contributors, combining for seven goals and nine assists, but overall scoring depth has been lacking. Only four additional players have three or more goals, allowing opposing defenses to limit Nashville's offense more easily. Defensively, Roman Josi and Brady Skjei have led the top pairings, but beyond them, the defensive unit has faltered, frequently allowing opponents to find open lanes to the net.

Edmonton Oilers team news & key players

On the Oilers side, Leon Draisaitl, Jeff Skinner, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins have combined for nine goals and nine assists to lead Edmonton’s top two lines. However, the rest of the Oilers' offense has been less effective, with only three other players reaching three or more goals, making it easier for opponents to contain their top-heavy attack. On defense, Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard have anchored the top pairing, but the rest of the defensive unit has struggled, often leaving opponents with clear shooting opportunities.
