Edmonton Oilers vs. Philadelphia Flyers Picks and Prediction for Sunday, November 15, 2026

The Oilers are taking to the road in the game to face the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night at 7:30 PM at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Oilers and the Flyers did just play on Wednesday night in Edmonton, and the Oilers ended up getting the win 3-2 in overtime. This time, they're meeting in Philadelphia, and that could be one of the key factors here. But Edmonton has been one of the hotter teams in hockey this season, and the Flyers, they just simply can't score at all. Get in on all the NHL action with our free NHL picks.

Edmonton Oilers Have Been Finding Ways to Win

The Oilers are coming into this game with a very impressive 14-3-3 record overall, and they're 7-0-1 on the road this year. The Oilers have ended up winning three straight games, as they beat Philadelphia 3-2 in overtime on Wednesday, and they defeated the Rangers 3-1 and Vancouver 4-2 prior to that win over the Flyers. The Flyers game was actually closer than what Edmonton wanted it to be, as the Oilers do have the better depth and have been able to play more consistent hockey on the year so far. The one issue that the Oilers did have is they allowed the Flyers to come back from a two-goal deficit and force overtime before the Oilers were able to finish out the win.

Edmonton does have a strong offense coming in with four goals per game on the season, and the power play has actually been converting on 33.3% of their chances so far this year. The defense for the Oilers has actually been quite impressive, too, as they're only giving up 2.8 goals per game. And the one aspect that they do need to work on is they've only been getting 25.4 shots per game, but they've been making those chances count. To help keep the defensive pressure off of the Oilers, they need to keep the puck in the offensive zone and create more shot opportunities because it's only a matter of time before the goalies start to get tired.

Now, the Oilers are not coming into this game injury-free, as Frederik Andersen, Matt Savoie, Alec Regula, Mattias Janmark, and Isaac Howard are all listed as unavailable. Those absences could affect the depth they have on the roster and make it difficult for them to continue their winning ways. Now, one thing to note is it might be the secondary goalie in the net for the Oilers, as they are playing back-to-back games here. With those injuries that they already have on the list, it could make it more interesting to see if the Oilers are able to continue to play consistently good hockey or not.

Philadelphia Flyers Need to Find More Scoring

The Flyers are coming into this game here with a 5-10-6 overall record, but even at home, the Flyers have struggled, as they've only posted a 3-4-3 record. In their last five games, the Flyers have ended up losing four of them, and two of those defeats have come in overtime or a shootout, but they're still defeats even if they did pick up a point for those games. The Flyers are playing consistent hockey and good enough hockey that they could win, but the defense has just faltered, or the offense has lapsed when the defense is playing good.

When it comes to scoring, the offense for the Flyers has been dismal. They're only getting 2.2 goals per game, and that's one of the weakest in the NHL this season. When it comes to the power play, the Flyers are converting on 18.5% of their chances, which is decent but well below the average Edmonton has. And combined with only 24 shots per game for the Flyers, that also explains why they're losing so many games. Now, the defensive side has been decent, and they're only giving up 3.2 goals per game, and the penalty kill is at 79.4%. But still, the Oilers are a team that can really press the Flyers' defense, and if it's pressed hard enough, the Flyers have shown they do crack under that pressure.

The Flyers do have Nikita Grebenkin listed as out with a back injury, while Noel Acciari is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. However, the Flyers do have some good defensive stretches, and the goaltending, as shown against Edmonton earlier this week, was able to keep them competitive, even if it did end up cracking in overtime. Still, the lack of offense is not enough to make up for the great defensive showing that the Flyers have been putting on the ice at times, as shown in the losses that the Flyers have recently experienced.

Edmonton Oilers vs. Philadelphia Flyers Picks and Prediction

Moneyline – Edmonton Oilers

This game, I'm gonna see Edmonton win. Edmonton almost lost one over the Flyers in overtime by letting the Flyers get back in. I'm sure that in the locker room there's quite a bit of discussion about why that happened and why it won't happen again. With that being the case, I see the Flyers struggling to score, but also I see the Oilers coming in with a chip on the shoulder because their coach probably chewed them up one side and down the other for letting the Flyers get close enough to pick up a win on Wednesday night that it made the Oilers coach notice, and that is why I'm picking the Edmonton Oilers.

Over/Under – Under 6.5 Goals

This is the game that really I don't think is gonna be a high-scoring game. I'm looking at a 4-2 score with the Oilers finishing most of that scoring on their own and the Flyers not really doing much offensively until later in the game when the Oilers start to let up some. However, I do not see the Oilers letting up enough to let the Flyers back into the game or giving up a two-goal lead to allow for a tie to head to overtime. With that being said, I do see the score being like a 4-2, which is under the 6.5 mark. I think this game will be set up.
