Edmonton Oilers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/20/25

The Tampa Bay Lightning will host the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. The Oilers will be on the second half of a back-to-back, as they were in Washington taking on the Capitals Wednesday night. The Lightning, sitting idle on Wednesday, are playing some good hockey as of late – 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. Netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy has played a big part in this, as he also has been much better of late. He is 4-1 in his last 5 starts, and has a 2.64 GAA and .906 SVP on the season. He will go up up against Calvin Pickard, who has a brutal 4.18 GAA and .830 SVP. The top end talent on the Lightning has finally been playing to their standards and carrying this team. Jake Guentzel has 6 goals in his last 5 games and Nikita Kucherov has 4 points in his last 3 games. Look for them to play a part in this game.

It is the same old story for the Oilers, they lack offensive depth, they are poor defensively and their goaltending is among the worst in the NHL. If the Lightning can shut down Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, or even limit them to a few scoring chances, they should be successful in this game. Give me the Lightning on the money line.
