While one of the Alberta teams will be in California this weekend, the other will be in Philly. That would be Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers looking to take advantage of the Vegas Golden Knights’ recent loss by cashing some Oilers vs Flyers predictions.
As for the other side of the matchup, the Philadelphia Flyers are still trying to find something to at the very least keep them away from the very bottom of the Metro Division. So, while they are on home ice for this matchup, it’s difficult to have any confidence in them. That is also true given the matchup, and not just that it’s Connor McDavid; the issue is that you beat the Oilers by exploiting their lack of elite goaltending. Unfortunately for Philly and their fans, they score the second-fewest goals per game. Meanwhile, McDavid and company score the third-most, and while Philly is able to slow down the pressure of some teams, the firepower of Edmonton is too strong and has us supporting them with our best Oilers vs Flyers prediction.
It was a closer-than-expected victory when these teams recently met, but that’s not enough to keep us off this play. With both teams on a back-to-back, we’ll take the more talented roster.
Oilers vs Flyers prediction: Edmonton 3-way ML (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to -115.
