Edmonton Oilers vs Boston Bruins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/18/25

The Edmonton Oilers will travel to Boston on Thursday night to take on the Bruins. Since acquiring Tristan Jarry, the Oilers are 2-0 in the 2 games that he has started. Captain Connor McDavid is playing some of the best hockey of his career right now, which is saying a lot considering his career. In his last 7 games, he has logged 20 points. He is flanked by superstar Leon Draisaitl who logged his 1000^th career point on Tuesday. Over that same 7-game stretch, Draisaitl has accumulated 16 points. When these two are playing their best, there aren’t many teams in the NHL that can keep pace with them. The Bruins certainly aren’t one of them. Their powerplay unit is currently sitting number one in the league, operating at 32.6%. Look for their powerplay to play a role in this game as the Bruins are the most penalized team in the NHL this season.

Aside from Morgan Geekie and David Pastrnak, the Bruins do not really have any offensive threats. If the Oilers can keep these two off the score sheet, they should be successful in this game. Give me the Oilers in this one.
