Philadelphia heads to Edmonton on Wednesday night for a 9 PM ET game at Rogers Place. This is a tough spot for the Flyers. They’ve been struggling to score all season, and now they get an Oilers team averaging more than four goals a night. Edmonton hasn’t been perfect at home, but the difference between these offenses is pretty hard to ignore. Verified U.S. betting odds weren’t available when this preview was prepared. I like Edmonton, and I think the Oilers have a good chance of winning comfortably. Get into the NHL action with our free NHL picks.
Philadelphia Has Been Having a Rough Time
Philadelphia is 5-10-5 and has won only twice in ten road games. The Flyers beat Vancouver 3-1 on Monday after losing 4-3 in overtime to Calgary on Sunday, and they’ve been finding different ways to lose all season. Sometimes the offense disappears. Other nights they score enough but can’t protect a lead. That’s a frustrating combination, especially when you’re trying to win away from home.
The Flyers are averaging only 2.2 goals per game, near the bottom of the league, while allowing 3.4. That’s a difference of more than a goal every night. Philadelphia has been having trouble generating enough quality chances, and the power play hasn’t been reliable enough to make up for it. Against Edmonton, the Flyers can’t afford to spend long stretches stuck in their own zone. The Oilers have too much offensive ability to keep giving them the puck.
Philadelphia also has defensive depth concerns, with Rasmus Ristolainen unavailable. That’s not what you want heading into a matchup with one of the league’s highest-scoring teams. The Flyers need their defensemen to make smart decisions with the puck and avoid careless turnovers near their own blue line. Edmonton will turn those mistakes into scoring chances in a hurry.
Edmonton Has Been Scoring Like Crazy
Edmonton is 13-3-3 and has been one of the better teams in the league. The Oilers are 6-3-2 at home, which isn’t quite as dominant as their overall record, but they’ve still been collecting points consistently. Edmonton has been winning games in different ways, although the offense remains the biggest reason opponents have trouble keeping up.
The Oilers are averaging 4.1 goals per game, second in the NHL, and allowing only 2.8. That’s an excellent scoring difference. Edmonton can score off the rush, on the power play, or by keeping the puck in the offensive zone for an entire shift. Philadelphia has been allowing 3.4 goals a night, and that’s a matchup the Oilers should be able to exploit. The Flyers need to play nearly perfect defensive hockey to keep Edmonton from getting four or five.
Edmonton has some depth concerns, including an absence involving Frederik Andersen. The starting goaltender will be worth checking before puck drop, but I don’t think Edmonton needs a shutout to win this game. The Oilers need to stay disciplined and avoid giving Philadelphia unnecessary opportunities. If they play their usual offensive game, the Flyers are going to have trouble keeping up.
Philadelphia Flyers vs Edmonton Oilers Picks and Prediction
Moneyline Pick: Edmonton Oilers
I’m taking Edmonton. Philadelphia has five wins in 20 games and has been scoring only 2.2 goals a night. Edmonton is averaging 4.1. That’s a pretty enormous difference. The Oilers have also been defending better, so the Flyers aren’t likely to get many easy chances. Edmonton could have a sloppy night and let Philadelphia hang around, but I don’t see enough reasons to trust the Flyers on the road. Give me the Oilers.
Total Pick: Over — Â
I lean over, mainly because Edmonton could score four or five by itself. Philadelphia has been allowing 3.4 goals per game, and the Oilers have been one of the most dangerous offensive teams in hockey. The concern is whether the Flyers contribute enough. If Philadelphia scores only one, the over becomes much harder. But Edmonton has also given up some chances at home, and I think the Flyers can find a couple of goals. Something like 5-2 Edmonton seems reasonable. I’d need the actual total before betting.
