On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers play on their home ice at Rogers Place at 9:00 pm ET against the Philadelphia Flyers in an NHL game. The Oilers (13-3-3, 29 points) beat the New York Rangers on Monday, 3-1. Leon Draisaitl scored a pair of goals and Edmonton won its second consecutive game. Philadelphia was victorious on Monday as well, defeating Vancouver 3-1. The win snapped a three-game winless skid for the Flyers. The Oilers are better at both ends of the ice, and Edmonton -1.5 is our pick.
Edmonton’s attack is one of the best in the NHL with a goals-for average of 4.11, but the blue line and goaltending could improve, with a goals-against of 2.95. Connor McDavid leads the Oilers and NHL in both points with 48 and assists with 37. Draisaitl is the team leader in goals with 18. Edmonton is scoring 32.4% of the time with the man advantage, but is holding opponents scoreless when short-handed only 77.1% of the time. In goal, Tristan Jarry has a goals-against average of 2.57 and save percentage of .902. The Oilers have won six of 11 on their home ice.
The Flyers have had problems at both ends, with a goals-for average of just 2.25 and a goals-against average of 3.25. Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras share the lead in points for the team with 14 each. Michkov is also the team leader in goals with 10. Zegras has 10 assists to lead Philly. The Flyers have an anemic power play that scores just 18.3% of the time but its penalty kill unit has performed better than Edmonton’s at 80.6%. Goalie Joseph Woll has a 2.91 GAA and a .902 SV%. The Flyers have two wins in their last eight games played.

Our Edmonton Oilers vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
Philadelphia looked better against Vancouver, and the Flyers will hope that result builds confidence. Zegras and Michkov give them scoring options, and Woll played well in Monday's victory. But two wins in eight games show how difficult it has been for Philadelphia to produce results. Facing Edmonton's offense is a much tougher assignment than playing Vancouver.
The Oilers have momentum after consecutive wins at home, and McDavid continues to create opportunities every night. Draisaitl is finishing his chances, while Edmonton's power play can punish Philadelphia for spending too much time in the penalty box. The Flyers may compete early, but the home side has more scoring depth and should control this matchup.
Our pick for Edmonton Oilers vs Philadelphia Flyers is: Oilers -1.5.
Prediction:
Edmonton Oilers -1.5
