Edmonton Oilers vs Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have been slumping lately, with just two wins in their last five games (W2, L3), but they delivered a bounce-back performance on Tuesday with a 5-4 comeback win over the Ottawa Senators in overtime. Playing at home might be just what the doctor ordered for Edmonton, as they’ve won four of their last six at Rogers Place.
However, this is a tough matchup. Carolina have won four of their last five encounters (W4, L1) and continue to make a strong case as one of the best sides in the Eastern Conference.

That’s especially true considering they’ve lost in regulation just once over their last 10 contests (W8, L1, OT1). That said, the Hurricanes have played two games in a row on the road, and at some point, the tired legs could become an issue.
Home ice hasn’t been much of an advantage for the Oilers this season, as they rank eighth in the West in home record (W16, L10, OT4). However, they’re a completely different team when their star players get going, and that should be the case here. Look for the offence to carry Edmonton in what figures to be a tough matchup against one of the best defences in the NHL.
Edmonton Oilers vs Carolina Hurricanes Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Leon Draisaitl over 1.5 points
It wouldn’t be a stretch to call Leon Draisaitl one of the hottest players in the NHL since the league resumed following the Olympic break. The star playmaker scored two goals and added three assists in Tuesday’s 5-4 overtime win over the Senators and now has 12 points (G6, A6) over his last five games. Look for Draisaitl to deliver another dominant effort here.

- SGP: Over 5.5 goals + Connor McDavid over 2.5 total shots + Leon Draisaitl over 0.5 goals
Our three-leg parlay backs another strong display from the star duo of McDavid and Draisaitl, though that’s hardly surprising given that both players are among the highest-scoring players in the NHL. Draisaitl has recorded 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) in 18 appearances since the beginning of January. Moreover, he’s riding a three-game goal streak, which he could extend here.
As for McDavid, he might not be able to find the back of the net, as he’s failed to do so in six of his last seven outings, but that hasn’t been for a lack of trying.

– Nine 100-point seasons in his career.

McDavid has recorded at least three shots in six of those seven encounters and has been averaging 4.14 shots per game since the beginning of January. He could clear this line (or even the over 3.5 shots mark) if he gets enough chances.
Last but not least, we’re also banking on this clash to hit the over on the 5.5-goal line. After all, these are two of the best offences in the NHL right now. The Oilers rank second in the league with 3.55 goals per game, while the Hurricanes are fifth with 3.44.
Edmonton Oilers vs Carolina Hurricanes Team News
Edmonton Oilers Team News
The Oilers will be close to full strength for this contest, though Jake Walman’s availability remains uncertain. The defenceman is dealing with an undisclosed problem and is listed as day-to-day, with a decision on his status likely to be made closer to Friday.
Forwards Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) and Curtis Lazar (undisclosed) are both out and have been added to the LTIR, meaning they still have a few weeks left before they’re back on the ice. Janmark has missed the last three games for the Oilers, while Lazar saw just 2:25 TOI in the 5-4 win over the Senators on March 3.
Carolina Hurricanes Team News
Unlike the Oilers, it would be fair to say the Hurricanes are at full strength, as they’re not dealing with any injury concerns. The only confirmed absentee is goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov, but he’s been ruled out for the rest of the 2025-26 season after undergoing hip surgery in late December.
