The Edmonton Oilers play their first game out of the Olympic break against the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center on Wednesday, February 25.
My top Oilers vs. Ducks predictions and NHL picks are calling for Edmonton pulling away from Anaheim in a high-scoring game tonight.
Oilers vs Ducks prediction
Oilers vs Ducks best bet: Over 6.5 (-115)
There have been at least seven goals in seven straight Edmonton Oilers games, and the Oil also rank fourth in goals per game (3.41).
Additionally, the Anaheim Ducks have allowed the fourth-most goals per game (3.48), and Edmonton slides in just below with the eighth-most against per (3.29). Anaheim has also scored a healthy 3.2 per, with the number climbing to 3.5 on home ice.
I’m also anticipating loose defense from both out of the Olympic break, and the Oilers and Ducks also respectively rank 28th and 26th in team save percentage at five-on-five.

The championship drive starts for the Oilers out of the Olympic break, and I’m anticipating the one-two superstar punch of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to cash in on the highlighted defensive shortcomings of the Ducks.
Look for No. 97 and No. 29 to put enough goals on the board to pull away from Anaheim tonight.
