Edmonton Oilers have lost five of their last eight games. They have two wins in the last three games, led by Connor McDavid's 15-game point streak. Their goalkeeping is their biggest problem. Jack Campbell hasn't panned out, so Stuart Skinner has taken over the starting role. Edmonton's penalty kill is sixth worst in NHL.

Seattle Kraken were the NHL's fifth best team before their recent tailspin. They are now the fourth worst team in the league. Seattle is 25th in goals scored per game and they are 1-for-25 on penalty kill.

Oilers and Kraken play each other on December 30. The over 6.5 goal total has been a common one in their three games last season.

The over has hit in twelve of the Oilers last 16 games and the under is 10-2-1 in the Kraken last 13 home games. Edmonton is the better team, but Seattle is sixth in goals/game.
