After an overtime loss to start the 2026-27 season, the Edmonton Oilers have won five straight games. The offense behind Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard, and Leon Draisaitl has been great, while the goalie play has been way better after Edmonton allowed 13 goals in its first two games.
The Utah Mammoth are looking to take down Edmonton tonight in Alberta to extend their own winning streak.
Here's everything you need to know about Utah's next game:
Who: Utah Mammoth (5-2-0) vs. Edmonton Oilers (5-0-1)
Where: ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+.
When: Oct. 15, 7:00 p.m. MT
What does Utah need to do to win?
Utah needs to match the Oilers' speed while also creating a good amount of offense. Edmonton struggles to stop good goal scoring teams like the Mammoth, so doing these things will be huge.
Whoever starts tonight, Sebastian Cossa or Karel Vejmelka, will be tasked with performing exceptionally well against the monstrous offense that is the Oilers' offense. So getting a strong performance from the starter tonight will be big.
The Prediction:
Record Tracker (4-1)
The Oilers are extremely hot right now, but they are running into a team that seems to have put things together after taking a brutal 6-1 loss against the Boston Bruins.
Expect pucks to fly into the net tonight, with plenty of scoring from both sides. But the Mammoth will win 6-4 to end the Oilers' winning streak and will have a chance to take down Edmonton again on Saturday night.
This game will be a tough test for both teams who have showed strentghs and weaknesses thus far.
