Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Moneyline Prediction

The Oilers continue their homestand following a 4-3 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Monday. They’ve now dropped their last two games, including Saturday’s 7-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite this losing streak, Edmonton has been impressive over its last 10 outings, posting a 7-2-1 record.

The Flames haven’t been nearly as consistent over that stretch, going 5-5-0. However, they have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL in recent days, and their 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday extended their winning streak to four games.

Calgary has relied on its defence during that run, allowing no more than two goals in any of those wins. Goaltender Devin Cooley has been instrumental, posting a 1.50 GAA over that stretch.

The Oilers are stronger than their last two results suggest and boast a potent attack that has averaged 3.7 goals per game over their last 10 contests. Cooley’s recent form has helped Calgary win four straight, but Edmonton’s scoring power presents a tougher test, especially considering that the Flames have lost four of their last five road outings (1-4-0). Edmonton should respond to its status as the favourite with a win.

Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Projected Starting Goalies

The Flames have the edge on paper, as Cooley’s numbers are better than those of any Edmonton goaltender. However, they would lose it if Dustin Wolf (1-4-0, 4.85 GAA, .834 save percentage) gets the nod. The Oilers, meanwhile, are forced to start Jarry because Devon Levi (undisclosed) and Frederik Andersen (knee) are out.

Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Player Prop

Leon Draisaitl had been riding a six-game, nine-goal streak before going scoreless in the Oilers’ most recent clash. Even when he isn’t scoring, his high shot volume keeps him relevant, as the star forward is averaging 3.83 shots on goal per game this season. He’ll face a Calgary defence that has allowed the fourth-most shots in the league (30.4).

Draisaitl’s recent performances also support the over, as the German playmaker has recorded at least four shots on goal in three of his last four outings and six of his 12 regular-season appearances overall. Firmly established on the top line alongside Connor McDavid and averaging 21:55 in time on ice per game, Draisaitl should have plenty of opportunities to test the opposing goaltender.

Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Total Goals Prediction

The Oilers score a league-high 4.25 goals per game, but their defence has been far less effective, allowing 3.50 (27th). The Flames have struggled even more defensively, ranking second-last with 3.73 goals allowed per game. Their offence has also been underwhelming, ranking 27th with 2.55 goals per game.

The Oilers’ games have averaged 7.75 total goals, well above the 6.5-goal line, while the Flames’ outings have averaged 6.28. Each of Edmonton’s last five has also produced at least seven. This matchup could be fast-paced, with both offences taking centre stage against struggling defences, further supporting the over.

Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers Team News and Injury Report

Calgary Flames Team News and Injury Report

The Flames remain without Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) and young winger Samuel Honzek (lower body). Huberdeau would likely feature in the top six if healthy, but he has yet to play this season, and Yegor Sharangovich has taken his place in the lineup.

This will be a one-off road game for the Flames, although four of their next five will be away from home. They’ve had just one day of rest.

Edmonton Oilers Team News and Injury Report

Zach Hyman (upper body), Mattias Janmark (undisclosed), and Matt Savoie (lower body) are among the Oilers’ notable absences, along with goaltenders Andersen and Levi. Hyman and Janmark are valuable offensive contributors, and Alex Formenton and Colton Dach could take on bigger roles if both are out again.

The Oilers will close out their five-game homestand in this matchup before beginning a three-game road trip. Like Calgary, Edmonton has had one day of rest.
