    Flyers at Oilers picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Oilers 4, Flyers 2

    Moneyline

    The Oilers' 5-on-5 analytics are by outpacing what the club has done so far at both ends of the ice. Shaky goaltending (.794 SV%) has certainly been a problem for Edmonton. But per NaturalStatTrick.com, the Oilers' 59.4% scoring chances-for rate (5-on-5) leads the NHL. The Oilers were undone by 5 power-play goals in their 1st 2 games; they killed off each of 3 short-handed situations in their last game.

    Edmonton (-225) is a solid enough play. But consider a PASS here and taking the Oilers on the puck line.

    Puck line/Against the spread

    Edmonton is 4-1-0 across its last 5 home games against Philadelphia. All 4 of those victories were by multi-goal margins.

    Skinner clocked a .913 SV% at home last season.

    Philadelphia went 1-6-2 over its last 9 road games last season, and the Flyers have had their issues in this building over recent years.

    BACK THE OILERS -1.5 (+115) .

    Over/Under

    The Under has gone 4-1 in the last 5 Philly-Edmonton games.

    Look for some gravity in the goals-allowed numbers for both sides.

    TAKE THE UNDER 6.5 (-115).
