Statistics (9 total teams):
Edmonton is (1-1) on the season while Winnipeg is (1-2). Edmonton (-5) ranks 5th in the league in point differential. Winnipeg (-8) is 7th in the league in point differential. Edmonton ranks 1st in points per game (38.0) and 9th in fewest points allowed (40.5). Winnipeg ranks 7th in points per game (21.3) and 7th in fewest points allowed (27.3).
Summary:
Edmonton is coming off a 39-36 win over SSK whereas Winnipeg defeated Hamilton 28-24. Edmonton is a hard team to gauge having the number one offense in the league but also the worst defense. Winnipeg averages 17 points fewer so I think Edmonton can outscore them even on the road.
