Oilers vs. Flyers Preview
The Flyers had plenty of looks in Edmonton on Wednesday. Philadelphia outshot the Oilers 33-24, won the expected goals battle 4.19 to 2.88, and had a 21-13 edge in high-danger chances. The Flyers still lost 3-2 in overtime on an Evan Bouchard winner.
That has been the story for Philadelphia all season. The Flyers rank 31st in goals per 60 minutes at 2.29, and Philadelphia is no better at 5-on-5, also sitting 31st at 1.73.
Edmonton, meanwhile, has tightened up defensively. The Oilers shut out Toronto 1-0 last night, have allowed two goals or fewer in seven of the last nine games, and rank third in expected goals against per 60 at 2.67.
Offensively, the Oilers have scored nearly 20 more goals than expected, the most in the league. Vasily Podkolzin, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have outscored opponents 21-6 together at 5-on-5 while controlling 61.6% of the expected goals.
Both teams are playing for the second straight night, with Edmonton coming in from Toronto and Philadelphia from Columbus. Devon Levi and Joseph Woll started last night, so Tristan Jarry and Dan Vladar are the projected starters, though neither has been confirmed. Jarry stopped 31 of 33 shots in the last meeting, while Vladar has an .879 save percentage this season.
Philadelphia simply doesn’t score enough to make me nervous about laying the price with Edmonton.
Best Bet: Oilers Moneyline (-148, DraftKings)
