In the previous three games, the Detroit Red Wings have seen exceptional performances from their players. Dylan Larkin, a forward for the Red Wings, has been in outstanding form. In one of the previous games, Larkin scored a goal and contributed an assist, showcasing his ability to create scoring opportunities for his team. His performance has been consistent over the last three games, with an average ice time of 17 minutes and 53 seconds per game.


Another player to watch out for is defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere. He has been a key contributor to the Red Wings' defensive efforts, providing stability and support in their own zone. Gostisbehere has recorded an average time on ice of 17 minutes and 58 seconds per game over the last three games.


On the other side, the Edmonton Oilers have also witnessed remarkable performances from their players. Leon Draisaitl, a forward for the Oilers, has been instrumental in creating scoring opportunities for his team. With three goals and two assists in the last three games, Draisaitl has proven to be a force to be reckoned with on offense.


In addition to Draisaitl's offensive prowess, goaltender Stuart Skinner has been exceptional between the pipes for the Oilers. With a save percentage of 100 percent in one of the previous games and an average save percentage of 97 percent over the last three games, Skinner has demonstrated his ability to make crucial saves and keep his team in contention.


As both teams prepare to face each other in this upcoming game, it is clear that these top performers will play a crucial role in determining the outcome. The Red Wings will rely on Larkin's offensive contributions and Gostisbehere's defensive prowess to secure a victory. Meanwhile, the Oilers will look to Draisaitl's scoring ability and Skinner's goaltending skills to lead them to success.


The game is scheduled to take place on January 12, 2024, at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
