Edmonton Oilers vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction, Odds and Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 3 Picks for Today, 04/24/26

The series shifts to Anaheim, where the Ducks are looking to build on their Game 2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers. They have scored 8 goals in two games, and historically, they have been statistically stronger at home throughout the season. The young, skilled players on the team are expected to have favourable matchups, making their offence even more dangerous. Although the goaltending has been a concern, if they can contain Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, they stand a good chance of securing a win.

On the other hand, the Oilers demonstrated vulnerabilities in their team defence during the last game, allowing a shorthanded goal and making several turnovers. Their defence must improve, but the goaltending needs to step up as well. Connor Ingram has allowed at least three goals in each of the first two games. While he can’t be solely blamed for the losses, he needs to find a way to secure a win for his team.

This upcoming game is likely to be a back-and-forth affair, resulting in a high-scoring match. The goal total is already set at 6.5, but it could rise to 7.0 by the time the puck drops. We will take the over and hope that the many scoring opportunities convert into goals.
