Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 12/27/25, 6:22 PM  by Edgar Jibran in NHL Picks

Next Saturday night’s NHL schedule will offer three main events at 09:00 pm CST, a time during which the Pacific Division teams will dominate the scene. Taking the schedule into account, it’s worth noting that the Edmonton Oilers aren’t expected to show domination over the Calgary Flames despite being a stronger side than them this regular season.

With the schedule in mind, the Calgary Flames are expected to take advantage of playing at home to show a strong defense, as trying to take immediate revenge on the Oilers after their most recent 5-1 loss should be a priority for them. Nevertheless, the lack of goals has been a strong concern for the Oilers during the season, as only Blake Coleman and Matt Coronato have been able to score more than ten goals this season.

On the Edmonton Oilers’ side, this team has been able to build momentum this month, so winning four of their last five games is a clear sign of the outstanding job they have done. Furthermore, they will face this game without high pressure, as they currently have a 7-point advantage over the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference’s standings, so in case of losing, they will remain sitting in the sixth spot.
