Preview

The Edmonton Oilers, led by their superstar duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, travel to Philadelphia to take on a Flyers team looking to pull off a home upset. Oddsmakers have pegged the high-flying Oilers as road favorites, but the Flyers will aim to use home-ice advantage to ground their potent attack.

The Oilers’ game plan is no secret: unleash their world-class offense. As former All-Stars, McDavid and Draisaitl are a constant threat to take over a game, and the Flyers’ defense will face a significant test in trying to contain them. However, Edmonton is dealing with some injuries to their forward group. Winger Kasperi Kapanen was recently placed on the injured list, and the team is also monitoring the status of Zach Hyman, who has been dealing with a wrist injury but could potentially return to the lineup soon.

The Philadelphia Flyers enter this contest as slight home underdogs. Their success will likely hinge on a disciplined defensive effort and strong goaltending to neutralize Edmonton’s offensive firepower. The Flyers’ injury situation is less clear, though winger Tyson Foerster was reported to be practicing in a regular jersey in late October, suggesting he could be a factor if he has returned to full health. Facing one of the league’s most dynamic offenses, Philadelphia will need to capitalize on its own scoring chances and stay out of the penalty box to have a chance.

Prediction

While the Flyers have the scrappiness to make this a competitive game, the offensive talent on the Oilers’ side is difficult to bet against. The one-two punch of McDavid and Draisaitl often proves to be the difference-maker, even on the road. Philadelphia’s path to victory requires a near-perfect defensive game, but Edmonton’s ability to create goals out of nothing gives them the clear edge. Expect the Flyers to keep it close, but for the Oilers’ star power to ultimately secure the win.

The Pick: Oilers -134

Score Prediction: Oilers 4, Flyers 2
