Edmonton suffered its first regulation loss on Thursday dropping a 4-2 decision against the New York Islanders. Defenseman Evan Bouchard will look to bounce back after his mistakes cost the Oilers two goals by the Islanders. New Jersey was not a great home team in 2024-25 with a 19-17-5 record. The Devils have lost five of seven home contests dating to last season and four of five against the Pacific Division. They are in a letdown situation after a huge win over Florida two nights ago. Stuart Skinner is off to a decent start in the crease for the Oilers with a 1.97 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage, including a shutout. Edmonton is 15-6 its past 21 games against teams with winning records and the Oilers are 5-0-0 UNDER their past five against Metropolitan Division teams. Edmonton has stayed UNDER three in a row and New Jersey has two straight UNDERS. Take the Oilers and the UNDER.

Edmonton at New Jersey
7:37 PM Eastern
If the Edmondton Oilers played just a bit better on defense they would have a great record, as the offense has a lot of scoring talent. This might be a good spot for them as New Jersey isn't defending well, allowing 3.6 gols per contest on the season. Right now that is concerning because the offense has been slumping over the past five games. Edmonton showed what they can do in a recent eight-game winning streak where they allowed a total of just 13 goals. Make the play on Edmonton.
