Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the course of the last two seasons, the Edmonton Oilers and the Arizona Coyotes have faced off three times, with the Oilers emerging victorious in all encounters. These matchups took place between December 2022 and March 2023. In terms of betting statistics, the Oilers were the favorites in each game, as indicated by their negative moneyline odds, and they managed to cover the spread once, while the Coyotes covered it twice. The home team secured wins in two of the three games, with the visiting team taking one victory. Notably, the total score consistently surpassed the over-under line set by bookmakers, resulting in an ‘Over’ outcome for all three games. Key statistics from these games reveal that the Oilers demonstrated a strong offensive performance, with a particularly high-scoring game in December 2022 where they netted eight goals. The Coyotes, despite their losses, showed resilience by covering the spread in two of the three games, suggesting competitive play even in defeat.

The most recent game between the two teams occurred on March 27, 2023, where the Oilers edged out the Coyotes with a close 5-4 victory. The Oilers, playing as the visitors, were heavily favored with a moneyline of -320 and a closing spread of 1.5, but they did not cover the spread as the Coyotes kept the game within a single goal difference. The total score of 9 comfortably exceeded the over-under of 6.5, continuing the trend of high-scoring games between these teams. In this nail-biter, the Oilers’ Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored the decisive goal with a wrist shot, while both Matias Maccelli and Barrett Hayton of the Coyotes scored twice.

Edmonton Oilers vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

The Oilers come into this game on the back of a win and are looking to continue their push up the Western Conference standings. Led by the league’s top scorer, Connor McDavid, who has been in sensational form with 81 points, including 60 assists, the Oilers boast one of the most potent offenses in the league. Zach Hyman has also been a key contributor, netting 32 goals so far. Edmonton’s offense will be a significant test for the Coyotes’ defense, which has struggled during their current losing streak.

On the other side, the Arizona Coyotes are desperate to turn things around after a series of disappointing results. Clayton Keller has been a bright spot for the team, leading with 49 points, and will be crucial if the Coyotes are to find a way past the Oilers’ defense. The Coyotes will need to tighten up at the back, having allowed a high number of goals during their losing streak, and will rely on their goaltending to keep them in the game.

This game will feature some key matchups, including the battle between McDavid and the Coyotes’ top defensive pairs. Special teams could also play a significant role, with the Oilers’ power play being one of the best in the league, while the Coyotes have struggled on the penalty kill. With both teams having much to play for, this game could come down to which team can capitalize on their opportunities and manage the game’s tempo.

Edmonton Oilers vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick

The pick for this game is ‘Over’ based on the high-scoring nature of both teams, particularly the Edmonton Oilers, who have been on an offensive tear with the league’s top scorer, Connor McDavid, leading the charge. The Oilers have consistently demonstrated their scoring prowess, and with Zach Hyman contributing significantly, they are likely to challenge the Coyotes’ defense, which has been conceding goals during their losing streak. Additionally, the historical head-to-head matchups between these two teams have seen the total score surpass the over-under line set by bookmakers, indicating a trend towards high-scoring games when these teams meet.

Despite the Coyotes’ recent struggles, they have managed to cover the spread in two of the last three encounters against the Oilers, showing they can compete offensively even in defeat. With Clayton Keller leading the Coyotes in points, there is potential for Arizona to contribute to the total score. Considering the Oilers’ offensive capabilities and the Coyotes’ need to snap their losing streak, this game is poised to follow the trend of their previous matchups, making the ‘Over’ a compelling pick.

The Pick: Over 6.5 -137 (BetRivers)
