Minnesota Wild vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 01/31/26

The Edmonton Oilers enter this Saturday night matchup against the Minnesota Wild riding a 3-game winning streak. Looking to extend their streak to 4, Connor McDavid and company should feel good about their chances to find the win column in this one. The Edmonton offense is firing on all cylinders right now, having scored 17 total goals during their 3-game win streak. The power play continues to operate at a high level, entering this contest with an NHL-best 31.6% conversion rate. That spells bad news for the Wild, who have struggled killing penalties all season. More specifically, Minnesota ranks 25th in the league with a penalty kill operating at a 77.6% clip.

Goaltender Tristan Jarry is 6-2-1 in 9 games with the Oilers, and he has been the beneficiary of plenty of goal support. While his .883 save percentage and 3.23 goals-against average with Edmonton don’t jump off the page, the argument can be made that he has been better than those numbers suggest. Jarry has allowed multiple late goals when the game is already decided that have inflated his numbers with the Oilers a bit. The Wild pose a challenge for the veteran netminder, but with the way the Edmonton offense is rolling right now, it’s tough to go against them – especially on home ice. Back the Oilers on the money line.
