Draisaitl currently maintains the NHL points lead with 27 (15 goals and 12 assists). McDavid follows closely behind with 25 points (9 goals and 16 assists). Both are anticipated to bring substantial impact to the matchup against the Flyers.
The Flyers, on the other hand, are demonstrating consistency. Claude Giroux, their captain, is pacing the team with 13 points (2 goals and 11 assists). Considering his performance, Giroux will be a vital element for the Flyers in this matchup against the Oilers.
While the Oilers maintain their momentum, they also have a point to prove with Mike Smith out due to an injury. As per Edmontonoilers.com, Mikko Koskinen will start as the goalie for the Oilers. Notably, Koskinen had a strong performance in the last game, making 28 saves on 30 attempts.
