Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers travel south to face the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome in the Battle of Alberta showdown. According to top NHL predictions, Edmonton is favored to win in what will be the final game of the regular season for these Pacific Division rivals.
Oilers vs. Flames Prediction
The preferred betting choice is the Oilers on the money line at -130. Edmonton recently faced a 5-2 defeat to the Maple Leafs, mainly due to two power-play goals and an empty-netter in the third period. This presents a promising opportunity for them tonight against Calgary, especially considering the Flames have struggled offensively since trading defenseman Rasmus Andersson—they’ve gone 1-4-2 in that span and are allowing just 1.72 goals per game, the league’s fewest during this period. The matchup is also a rebound spot for Edmonton, and the close proximity of the two cities suggests that fatigue from consecutive games shouldn’t heavily influence the outcome.
Same Game Parlay Idea
Calgary’s recent offensive production hasn’t been prolific, with only two games surpassing the over in their last 13 outings. Meanwhile, Edmonton’s goaltending has also been inconsistent, with the lowest save percentage at 5-on-5 during that time. Expect the Oilers’ improved defense tonight to help keep the game total below that threshold. Notably, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been offensive for Edmonton, scoring in 11 of 16 games since January and benefiting from playing alongside Connor McDavid on the top power play, combining for an impressive 6.77 goals per 60 minutes on the ice this season.
Sample Parlay:
- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to record at least 0.5 points.
