Edmonton Oilers vs Philadelphia Flyers Betting Picks

Thanks to some magic by Connor McDavid, the Oilers escaped the Blue Jackets, 5-4 in overtime, at home this past Monday night. Now, Edmonton goes on a season-long seven-game road trip starting with this matchup against the well-rested Flyers. Philadelphia has been idle since Saturday. The Flyers are 7-4 in their last 11 games and occupy the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Oilers can only win by offense since their defense and goaltending are well below par. Their offense, though, hasn't scored more than three goals in any road game this season. So it is no surprise Edmonton is 1-7 in its last eight away games, losing the past four of them. The Oilers are giving up 4.1 goals a game in their last 10 overall games. The Flyers rank sixth defensively and are the fourth-best team at killing penalties. They have the home ice, rest, and defense to upset the Oilers. Take the Flyers.

Philadelphia has gone UNDER five of its past six games while averaging only 1.3 goals and including three consecutive shutout losses. The Flyers are 7-1-1 UNDER their past nine against teams that allowed at least five goals in their previous game. Philadelphia is 9-2-1 UNDER playing with three or more days rest, and Edmonton is 5-1 UNDER as a favorite of -151 to -200. The Oilers are 30-24-1 UNDER on the season and they will have Stuart Skinner in net with a 2.74 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage. Samuel Ersson is probable for the Flyers, and he is 16-10-3 with a 2.81 GAA in 2024-25. Take the UNDER.

Philadelphia got hot for a while, but now the Flyers have lost four of five after losing 4-3 to Calgary on Sunday. The Flyers are playing their fourth game in six days and they are 10-41 their past 51 games in that situation. Edmonton is 9-1 after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game and the Oilers beat Anaheim 7-2 on Sunday when Warren Foegele had two goals and three assists and Calvin Pickard had 28 saves. Stuart Skinner is probable for this game and he has a 14-9-1 record and 2.86 GAA for Edmonton, which has won five in a row and all were on the road. The Oilers are 5-0 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days spot and they have won five straight after scoring at least five goals their previous game. This is the fifth straight road game for the Flyers. Take the Oilers as a Max Play.
