Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/22/26

Game 2 of this series will be played on Wednesday night in Edmonton. The Oilers took a thrilling Game 1 from the Ducks by a score of 4-3 when Kasperi Kapanen scored a goal with less than two minutes remaining in regulation time. These were two of the weaker defensive teams in the regular season, and that was on full display Monday night. In the regular season, the Ducks averaged 3.51 goals against per game, while the Oilers averaged 3.23, both in the bottom eight of the NHL. Both teams managed 28 or more shots on goal. The Oilers managed to score four goals without a single point from Connor McDavid, and going 0-2 on the powerplay. Don’t expect that to continue in Game 2.

Including the regular season, these teams have now met four times. The over is 3-1 in those four games. In two of those games, 11 goals were scored. They are no strangers to high-scoring games as they both prioritize their offensive game. I think the high-octane offense is going to continue in Game 2. Give me the over in this one.
