In their last game, the Oilers displayed a dominant performance on home ice at Rogers Place against the Winnipeg Jets. They managed to shut out their opponents with a convincing 4-0 victory. The team's goaltending was impeccable, saving all 29 shots faced and achieving a perfect save percentage of 100 percent. This defensive solidity is something they will aim to replicate in their next outing.


Offensively, Edmonton was just as impressive. They scored four goals from 26 shots, boasting an impressive shooting percentage of approximately 15 percent. Their faceoff win rate stood at around 54 percent – an area they've consistently excelled in which often translates into control of the puck and game tempo.


The powerplay unit didn't manage to convert on any of their three opportunities last time out but maintaining discipline allowed them only three times shorthanded where they successfully killed all penalties without conceding.


On the other hand, Seattle Kraken will be looking to bounce back after being held scoreless in their previous encounter. The Oilers' defense will need to stay vigilant as Seattle attempts to find its scoring touch again.


Edmonton's recent form suggests that they are finding rhythm both defensively and offensively as we approach this matchup. With solid goaltending backing up an efficient attack that capitalizes on scoring chances while remaining disciplined on defense, fans can expect another strong performance from the team.


The upcoming game is scheduled for September 27th at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle; it promises excitement for hockey enthusiasts everywhere. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or ROOT Sports NW for local viewers starting from 2:00 AM UTC (September 27).
