Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/19/25

The Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings meet for a Sunday matchup in the NHL. Part of a quiet four-game slate, the Oilers look to rebound from two-straight regulation losses, while the Red Wings look to continue a hot start to the season where they have been nearly perfect. This game completes a three-game home-stand for Detroit and is Edmonton’s fourth of five games in an early road trip. To get you set for the action, here are our Oilers vs. Red Wings predictions.

It has been a trying time for the Oilers who are 2-2-1, and the Red Wings continue to surprise at 4-1-0. Key contributors to each team’s early results has been a dried-up Oilers offense (2.6 goals per game) and an elite Red Wings defense (2.4 goals against per game). However, I believe it is time for these teams to regress to the mean a bit. The Oilers offense is extremely due for a consecutive 3+ goal scoring result, even without Zach Hyman. The team has the likes of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard (who really needs a wakeup call), and the team overall must be getting fed up with losing. I see them doing well against what has been an incredible defensive start in Detroit, who could potentially be overachieving with a (usually) average defense core and goaltending tandem. I think the Red Wings will also chip in on the scoring fun, as they are on home ice and juiced with momentum and high morale. Plus, the Oilers have been poor at keeping the puck out of their net, which is somewhat typical. With goals going back and forth, take the over 6.0 for our Oilers vs. Red Wings prediction.
