Tampa Bay Lightning vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/21/26

The Tampa Bay Lightning continue their road trip with a stop in Edmonton to face the Oilers. So far, Tampa Bay is 2-0 and has outscored its opponents 12-4, demonstrating just how dominant it can be. It’s impressive to see their success despite several elite players missing time. With a 22-9-4 record on the road, expect this Lightning team to come out strong and with great pace.

The Oilers currently sit second in their division and are working to come together to secure a playoff spot. The absence of Leon Draisaitl was evident on Thursday, when they failed to score in a 4-0 loss to the Panthers. While their power play can be dominant, the Lightning also has an elite power play. If Edmonton cannot generate offense at even-strength, its chances of winning decrease significantly. The lack of depth in their forward lines has been a challenge all year, and Tampa Bay will likely aim to exploit that. Connor Ingram is confirmed to start in goal, but there is only so much he can do. The Lightning should be able to score a good number of goals and add another 2 points to their total.
