Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers had a golden chance to be up 2-0 in the series before travelling to Anaheim, but subpar goaltending from Connor Ingram and an offence that has yet to click derailed their plans. Connor McDavid hasn’t looked at his best so far and has yet to record a point.
Overall, the Ducks are proving to be a tough matchup for the Oilers due to their intensity and physicality.
Anaheim did a good job of capitalising on their chances in Game 2, scoring six goals against a struggling Edmonton defence. Returning home gives them a strong chance to take the series lead.

However, to do so, they’ll need to remain efficient in front of goal, as their blueline play is still a concern after they allowed the fourth-most goals in the regular season.
As in the first two games, this clash is likely to be decided by the forward lines. Even though McDavid has been an afterthought for Edmonton in this series, he’s simply too good to continue struggling at this rate.
The Ducks’ defence isn’t strong enough to contain him and keep him scoreless for a third straight game.

If the star centre finds his rhythm, the Oilers’ offence will be on a whole other level, which could prove decisive given Anaheim’s holes on the blueline.
Edmonton haven’t been at their best so far, while the Ducks are giving it their all, so if the Oilers hit a new gear and McDavid gets things going, they should win here.
Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Leon Draisaitl over 1.5 points
Leon Draisaitl returned to the Oilers’ lineup in time for Game 1 and has been outstanding so far. He’s racked up one goal, three assists, and five shots in two contests, including one goal and one assist in Game 2.
Having posted back-to-back two-point performances, he should be one of the Oilers’ go-to options on offence again, especially given the struggles McDavid has endured in the series.
Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 5.5 goals + Connor McDavid over 3.5 shots on goal + Connor McDavid over 0.5 assists
The first two games have each produced at least six goals, and it’s difficult to see that changing here. These are two teams more known for their offensive power than for their defensive play.
With elite talent on both sides up front and ongoing defensive struggles, this promises to be another high-scoring matchup.
The remaining two legs of the parlay are tied to what McDavid can do on offence for the Oilers. The star centre has yet to record a point through the first two games, but he’s tallied seven shots so far.

He’s expected to continue testing the opposing goaltender early and often until he ends his drought.
If McDavid remains the go-to scoring weapon for Edmonton, he should clear these two marks with ease. He’s too good to stay off the scoresheet for a third game in a row after posting 150 points in 98 playoff games throughout his career.
Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers Team News
Anaheim Ducks Team News
The Ducks will determine the availability of two of their players closer to Friday’s puck drop, as both Radko Gudas and Ross Johnston are both questionable for Game 3 due to lower-body injuries.
Jansen Harkins is also out with a hand injury, but the expectation is that he’ll return before the end of the series. The same can’t be said about Petr Mrazek, who’s out for the entire playoff run due to a hip issue.
Edmonton Oilers Team News
The Oilers will need to make a call on two offensive players to see whether they’ll be available for Friday’s contest: Jason Dickinson (undisclosed) and Adam Henrique (lower body).
Neither played in Game 2, though Dickinson did suit up for Game 1. Max Jones (lower body) remains out for the rest of the first round, while Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
