Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis
Over the last two seasons, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Edmonton Oilers have faced each other three times, with the Flyers emerging victorious in two of those encounters while the Oilers claimed one win. These matchups occurred between February 9, 2023, and October 19, 2023. In each instance, the home team secured the win, highlighting the potential advantage of home-ice support. When it comes to betting statistics, the Flyers have covered the spread twice, and the Oilers once. Interestingly, all three games resulted in the total score falling under the closing over-under line, suggesting a trend of lower-scoring games between these two teams. Other notable statistics from these games include the Flyers’ strong penalty kill, particularly in the most recent game where they successfully defended all four power play opportunities by the Oilers. Additionally, the Flyers have shown a slight edge in faceoff wins, which could be a critical factor in maintaining possession and control of the game.
The most recent game on October 19, 2023, ended with a 4-1 victory for the Philadelphia Flyers over the Edmonton Oilers. The Flyers, who were the underdogs with a closing moneyline of +166, not only won the game but also covered the spread of 1.5. The game remained consistent with the previous matchups, with the total score of 5 staying under the closing over-under of 6.5. Key individual performances included Cam Atkinson of the Flyers, who scored twice, and Joel Farabee, who opened the scoring. The Oilers’ lone goal came from Zach Hyman, with an assist from superstar Connor McDavid. The Flyers’ goaltender, Carter Hart, had an impressive save percentage of 0.957, stopping 22 out of 23 shots, while the Oilers’ Jack Campbell saved 28 out of 32 shots, with a save percentage of 0.875. The Flyers’ success in the faceoff circle continued, winning 52.2% of faceoffs, and their penalty kill remained perfect, contributing to their solid defensive performance.
Philadelphia Flyers vs. Edmonton Oilers Predictions
The Edmonton Oilers enter this game with significant momentum, having won their last five games, a streak that has seen them climb the Western Conference standings. The Oilers’ offense has been firing on all cylinders, led by the league’s top scorer, Connor McDavid, who has been a consistent threat alongside goal-scorer Zach Hyman. Edmonton’s recent success has been a team effort, with contributions coming from all lines and defensive pairings, which will be crucial as they face a Flyers team known for its resilience under head coach John Tortorella.
On the other side, the Philadelphia Flyers have had a surprising season thus far, currently holding a strong position in the Metropolitan Division despite recent struggles. The Flyers will be leaning on their top scorer, Travis Konecny, and playmaker Travis Sanheim to reignite their offense against the Oilers. Philadelphia’s road record has been impressive, and they’ll look to leverage that success in Edmonton. However, their penalty kill and faceoff win percentage will need to be sharp to counter the Oilers’ potent power play and puck possession game.
This game also features a key goaltending matchup, with the Oilers likely relying on the steady presence of Stuart Skinner, who has been a revelation in net, against the Flyers’ Carter Hart, who has the ability to steal games with his performances. Defensively, both teams have shown they can be stingy, but it will be the ability to transition from defense to offense that could decide the outcome. With both teams boasting strong defensive units, the battle between the blue lines will be one to watch, as will the performance of each team’s special teams units.
Philadelphia Flyers vs. Edmonton Oilers Pick
The Edmonton Oilers are entering this game with a strong five-game winning streak, showcasing their ability to dominate on the ice with a high-powered offense led by Connor McDavid. The Oilers’ recent performances have been impressive, particularly at home, where they have secured 9 wins this season. With the Flyers on a two-game losing streak and the Oilers’ current form, the smart money is on the home team to continue their upward trajectory. The Oilers have also shown they can cover the spread, and with the Flyers’ recent games trending towards the under, Edmonton’s potent offense could be the difference-maker in overcoming Philadelphia’s defense.
Historically, the home team has had the advantage in the last three matchups, with the Oilers claiming victory in their home game. While the Flyers have had success against the Oilers in the past, Edmonton’s current momentum and home-ice advantage are significant factors in this game. Additionally, the Oilers’ recent trend of covering the spread and the Flyers’ struggles to win on the road against strong opponents suggest that Edmonton is well-positioned to come out on top. With these considerations, the Edmonton Oilers moneyline bet is the recommended pick for this matchup.
The Pick: Edmonton Oilers -165. (Bet365)
