Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 2 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 4-3 when Kasperi Kapanen scored a goal with less than 2 minutes remaining in regulation. These were 2 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; 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 4 goals without a single point from Connor McDavid and despite going 0-for-2 on the powerplay. Don’t expect that to continue in Game 2.

Including the regular season, these 2 teams have now met 4 times. The over is 3-1 in those 4. In 2 of those contests, 11 goals were scored. They are no strangers to high-scoring games, as they both prioritize their offensive style. I think the high-octane offense is going to continue in Game 2. Give me the over in this one.
