What is the Ducks vs Oilers lineup outlook?

Neither team has named a November 5 starting goalie. The Ducks also had injuries on defense in their October 27 update, while the Oilers had return decisions pending.

What is the Ducks' availability outlook?

Lukas Dostal stopped 27 of 33 shots against the Canucks on October 27, with Ville Husso the other goalie on the roster. Troy Terry was out following hip surgery; Ian Moore, Ryan Poehling and Pavel Mintyukov were listed as injured on October 27, with Mintyukov day to day. Moore and Mintyukov are defensemen, so their continued absence could leave the Ducks short on the blue line.

What is the Oilers' availability outlook?

Tristan Jarry started on October 24 and 26 after Devon Levi went on injured reserve on October 23. Jarry stopped 26 of 29 shots against the Red Wings on October 26 and had a .868 save percentage in five games; Levi had a .887 save percentage in seven starts before his injury. Levi had been on the ice taking shots, but no return timeline had been announced.

Zach Hyman was on injured reserve with a stiff neck and, as of October 28, was expected to miss at least three more games. His November 5 availability remained unclear. Jason Dickinson was activated on October 28, while Mattias Ekholm was set to return after missing two games.

What could decide Ducks vs Oilers?

The Ducks' penalty rate and the Oilers' scoring burst in their October 7 meeting point to two ways the game could turn.

Can the Ducks limit the Oilers' power-play chances?

The Oilers had converted 35.0% of their power plays. The Ducks had been shorthanded 49 times in 12 games, or 4.1 times per game, and killed 77.6% of penalties. If that penalty rate continues, the Oilers could get repeated chances with the extra skater.

The Oilers' penalty kill was at 70.6%, and the Ducks scored both their goals on the power play against them on October 7. Penalty calls on both sides could make special teams a closer contest than the Oilers' power-play rate alone suggests.

Can the Ducks withstand an Oilers scoring burst?

The Ducks outshot the Oilers 31-19 on October 7 but lost 5-2 after the Oilers scored all five goals in the second period. Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard each had three points, and Ducks coach Joel Quenneville said his team watched too much in that period.

The Ducks also let a 5-2 lead slip against the Canucks with fewer than eight minutes left on October 27, losing 6-5 in overtime. If they build a lead against the Oilers, they will need to protect it against a team that has already scored five goals against them in one period.
