The Flames are last in the league in scoring, averaging 2.5 goals a game - and the majority of those games were when they had offensive-minded defenseman Rasmus Andersson pushing their attack. Since the Flames traded Andersson to the Golden Knights seven games ago, their scoring average has dipped to 1.7 goals a game. No team has scored fewer goals per game during this stretch than Calgary. This doesn't bode well for the Flames against Edmonton, which is third in the league in scoring at 3.4 goals a game and first on the power play. Edmonton's scoring average is up to 4.4 goals per game over the past five games. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl rank first and fifth, respectively, among the NHL's top point-getters. Zach Hyman has been hot for Edmonton, too, scoring 12 goals in his last 19 games. The Oilers are in bounce-back mode after losing to the Maple Leafs at home, 5-2, on Tuesday. Take the Oilers.

Pro Picks
Calgary at Edmonton
Edmonton fans can rest easy, at least for now, after the Oilers extended Connor McDavid's contract two more years. McDavid has led the NHL in points in three of his past five seasons. Leon Draisaitl finished with 106 points (52 goals, 54 assists) and wingers Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins combined for 47 goals and 46 assists in 2024-25. Hyman was injured during the playoff run, but is expected back in the lineup soon. In the meantime, Edmonton is slotting Trent Frederic in on the top line. Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard again will share time in net. Both goalies have had their ups and downs, but overall have been more than adequate. Skinner was 26-18-4 with a 2.81 goals-against average, and Pickard finished 22-10-1 with a 2.71 GAA. Calgary will start Dustin Wolf, who comes off a 29-16-8 season with a 2.64 GAA. Wolf kept the Flames in contention last season as his skaters didn't provide much help. The Flames were fourth-last in the NHL in goals scored. Calgary has lost 11 of 14 games against the Oilers and 10 of 14 on the road. Take the Oilers on the puckline.
