Oilers vs. Flyers Preview
The Edmonton Oilers hit the road for the start of a seven-game trip on Wednesday night, visiting the Philadelphia Flyers as -135 favorites on the moneyline. Edmonton is also -1.5 (+175) on the puck line, with the total set at 6 goals.
The Oilers are coming off a thrilling 5–4 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday, where Jack Roslovic scored 56 seconds into OT to snap a three-game skid (0-2-1). Roslovic and Jake Walman each finished with a goal and an assist, while Stuart Skinner made 15 saves to help the Oilers climb back over .500 (7–6–4).
Philadelphia, meanwhile, dropped its second straight game in a 3–2 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators. Tim Stutzle buried the winner 3:19 into OT, spoiling a solid defensive effort from the Flyers, who couldn’t quite capitalize on home ice.
Oilers vs. Flyers Prediction
This matchup fits a classic “Fade Home Dog off Loss at Home” system, as outlined by betting analyst Evan Abrams. The angle targets NHL teams that return to the ice as home underdogs after losing their previous home game.
Despite the perception that these teams are primed for a bounce-back effort, history shows the opposite — being priced as a home dog again signals lingering market distrust, whether in roster depth, goaltending, or recent form.
With the Oilers carrying momentum from a comeback win and the Flyers stuck in one of these fade spots, the value lies with Edmonton to keep rolling on the road.
Best Bet: Oilers Moneyline (-135, bet365)
