Ottawa Senators at Edmonton Oilers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Ottawa Senators at Edmonton Oilers NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Ottawa Senators (9-18-1) and Edmonton Oilers (16-11-0) play the second game of a three-game set at Rogers Place Wednesday. Puck drop will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Senators-Oilers odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

The Senators are 1-3-0 four games into a six-game road trip. They followed a 4-3 shootout win over the Calgary Flames Sunday with a 3-2 loss to the Oilers Monday. Edmonton was up 3-1 late before Sens rookie LW Tim Stutzle cut the margin in half with 2:03 to go.

The Oilers have won back-to-back games over the Flames and Senators. They lost their previous three following a five-game win streak. They’ll play eight of 10 games on the road after this series.

Senators at Oilers: Projected starting goalies

Matt Murray (7-11-1, .885 SV%, 3.66 GAA) at Mike Smith (7-2-0, .925 SV%, 2.29 GAA)

Murray had the night off Monday after stopping 31 of 34 shots in the victory over the Flames. He allowed 4 and 6 goals in two losses to the Flames in his past four games. He has won two or more games in a row just once this season.

Smith has been the better of the two regular Oilers goaltenders but in a much smaller sample size. He gave up 6 goals on 32 shots to the Toronto Maple Leafs last Wednesday but bounced back to allow just 2 goals on 36 shots in a win over the Flames Saturday.

Senators at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Senators 4, Oilers 3

Money line (ML)

The SENATORS (+200) should be primed to double your money after losing by just a single goal Monday. RW Evgenii Dadonov opened the scoring just 0:56 into the game.

The Oilers certainly have the more potent offense with 3.19 goals scored per game to the Senators’ 2.64, but both allow over 3 goals per game and both successfully kill under 77% of penalties.

Ottawa and Edmonton are 16th and 17th, respectively, in Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5, and they’re 19th and 20th, respectively, in scoring chances at full strength.

TAKE THE SENATORS (+200) to win in a game that should be priced closer to a pick ’em.

Against the spread (ATS)

There has been value in backing the SENATORS +1.5 (-130) due to their skewed money line prices for much of the season. They’re a quality 14-14 ATS while being underdogs in every game. Edmonton is just 11-16 ATS.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 6.5 (-110) is the play with Murray still struggling mightily with consistency and Smith prone to high scores, as well.

All four head-to-head meetings played to the Under, but there’s some correction coming with both teams ranked in the top 10 of the league in shots on goal per game.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (17-4-2) finish up a three-game set against the Edmonton Oilers (14-10-0) Wednesday for an 8 p.m. ET puck drop at Rogers Place. Below, we analyze the Maple Leafs-Oilers odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Maple Leafs at Oilers: Projected starting goalies

Michael Hutchinson (3-1-0, 1.77 GAA, .943 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Mike Smith (6-1-0, 1.87 GAA, .938 SV%, 2 SO)

Hutchinson posted a shutout in Monday’s game in Edmonton, turning aside all 31 of the shots he faced. That came on the heels of a shutout by Jack Campbell in his return from the long-term injured reserve list. Hutchinson is projected to start this one, as the Leafs likely won’t want to push it with Campbell.

Smith came on in the second period in Monday’s game against the Leafs and stopped all 13 shots he faced after Mikko Koskinen allowed three goals in the first period. Smith allowed four goals on 29 shots in his start Saturday against Toronto, but received no run support in that one, either.

Maple Leafs at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oilers 4, Maple Leafs 2

Money line (ML)

The OILERS (+100) will salvage the series finale against the Maple Leafs, who have spun two shutouts from two unlikely sources in the first two games.

What’s even more impressive is the Leafs have done it without superstar C Auston Matthews, who has missed two games due to a wrist injury.

Edmonton is due and will break through for plenty of goals in this one.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The OILERS -1.5 (+260) on the alternate line will help you more than double up, and they’re definitely worth a roll of the dice at this price.

Yes, they have struggled to score in the past two games against Campbell and Hutchinson, but that high-octane power play and offense can’t be held down all week.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 6.5 (-115) is a good bet in this series finale. The Oilers were blanked in the first two games, but they will get on track.

The Maple Leafs have hit the Under in four straight games and it is a good bet as long as the team is missing Matthews.

Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks odds, with NHL betting picks and prediction

The Edmonton Oilers (12-8-0) open a two-game set on the road against the Vancouver Canucks (8-12-2) Tuesday for a 10 p.m. ET puck drop at Rogers Arena. Below we analyze the Oilers-Canucks odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Oilers at Canucks: Projected starting goalies

Mike Smith (4-0-0, 1.83 GAA, .940 SV%, 1 SO) at Thatcher Demko (4-7-1, 3.31 GAA, .901 SV%)

Smith is confirmed for the Edmonton crease, and that has been a good thing lately. He has won each of his four starts this season, allowing two or fewer goals in each outing. Smith allowed just one goal on 21 shots in a victory at Calgary on Friday night, and he has been on fire since returning from a bout with COVID-19.

Demko won his final three starts of January, but he has been a train wreck since flipping the calendar to February. He is 0-4-1 with a 3.42 GAA and .883 SV% in five starts and six appearances since Jan. 30. He has allowed three or more goals in four of his six outings in February, too.

Oilers at Canucks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oilers 5, Canucks 2

Money line (ML)

The OILERS (-130) have won four straight on the road, and seven of the past eight as a favorite. Smith is due for a poor outing at some point, but he is showing no weaknesses right now. Meanwhile, Demko is leaking oil, pun totally intended, and it’s hard to see him outplaying Smith.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The OILERS -1.5 (+195) are worth playing on the road with a chance to double up. Smith is rolling along, and it’s easy to see Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and company having a field day against the turnstile Demko.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (-115) is risky business based upon Smith’s recent hot run, but Demko has been more than giving. Still, I am not a big fan of 6.5-point numbers, so go lightly on this one. While the Over is 3-1-1 in the past five meetings in this series, the Under is actually 7-1-3 in the past 11 meetings in Vancouver.

Oilers at Flames: Projected starting goalies

Mikko Koskinen (6-8-0, 3.43 GAA, .894 SV%) at Jacob Markstrom (8-5-1, 2.61 GAA, .918 SV%, 2 SO)

The Oilers got a nice outing from G Mike Smith last time out, but Koskinen remains the top dog in Edmonton for now. Koskinen has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his four appearances in February, and he has a pair of wins in his three starts in the month. After a rough start to the season, Koskinen finally looks to be turning things around. However, he did allow six goals on 28 shots in a 6-4 loss at Calgary in his most recent showing against the Flames.

Markstrom coughed up five goals on 29 shots in his most recent showing, and he was pulled in the third period in favor of G David Rittich. Markstrom was making his sixth appearance of the season against the Canucks, his old team, and he was due for a stinker. Look for the Flames to turn back to Markstrom for the Battle of Alberta. He allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 6-4 win Feb. 6 at home against the Oilers in his only appearance in the rivalry to date.

Oilers at Flames: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Flames 5, Oilers 3

Money line (ML)

The FLAMES (-125) are the play on their home ice in the front end of this home-and-home with the Oilers. The favorite has cashed in nine of the past 12 meetings in this series, and Calgary has won five of its past seven at home against Edmonton. In fact, the Oilers are just 1-4 in the past five meetings overall in this series, as their rivals have had their number lately.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The FLAMES -1.5 (+200) are a tempting play on home ice, and worth a small-unit play despite the fact these games tend to be high-scoring and usually very close. It’s also a risky play with Calgary coming off a 5-1 loss last time out on home ice against Vancouver. In addition, just one of the Flames’ past three wins are by more than one goal, although they did win 6-4 in the first meeting with the Oilers. However, a low-risk, small bet is warranted, as a chance to double up is just too tough to pass up.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (-110) is risky business, especially since the Flames are 3-1-1 to the Under in the past five outings, and 5-2-1 in the previous eight. However, one of those Over results was against the Oilers Feb. 6. The Under is also 4-1 for Calgary in the previous five. I don’t love 6.5 total lines, especially when playing the Over, but the Over is 4-0-1 in the past five meetings and 18-7-1 in the past 26 in Calgary.

Winnipeg Jets at Edmonton Oilers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Winnipeg Jets at Edmonton Oilers NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Winnipeg Jets (9-5-1) go for two in a row on the road over the Edmonton Oilers (9-8-0) Wednesday at Rogers Place. Puck drop will be at 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Jets-Oilers NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The Jets won Monday’s high-scoring affair 6-5 with RW Blake Wheeler‘s game-winner coming 6:22 left into the third period. Winnipeg is 4-2 over its last six games.

The Oilers had won three straight road games prior to Monday’s loss on home ice. They had allowed a total of 3 goals in two wins over the Ottawa Senators and none over the Montreal Canadiens.

Jets at Oilers: Projected starting goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (7-4-1, .917 SV%, 2.58 GAA) vs. Mike Smith (2-0-0, .935 SV%, 2.11 GAA)

Hellebuyck did enough to get the win Monday while allowing 5 goals on 45 shots. It was his second win over the Oilers this season after allowing 4 goals on 26 shots Jan. 26.

Smith allowed 4 goals on just 11 shots Monday before being replaced by Mikko Koskinen early in the second period; he’s expected to return to the crease with Koskinen being charged with the loss. The veteran has made three appearances this month after being sidelined all of January.

Jets at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oilers 4, Jets 3

Money line (ML)

The OILERS (-140) should rebound Wednesday after being let down by both goaltenders Monday. Jets C Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) is expected to miss another game as the most notable injury on either side.

The Oilers tallied 60.61% of the total shot attempts and 64.29% of the scoring chances at 5-on-5 Monday, with Hellebuyck stealing the win for the visitors. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has the upper hand most nights, but the Oilers are due some correction following that strong performance.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the puck line with the -225 tag on Jets +1.5 too risky for just one goal of insurance in the event of a loss.

On the other hand, the Oilers will struggle to build a multi-goal lead against Hellebuyck and to maintain it even against the shorthanded Jets offense.

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the OVER 6.5 (-120) once again. The teams have played to four straight Overs in their head-to-head meetings, and the Jets and Oilers rank fifth and sixth, respectively, in goals scored per game.

Previewing Monday’s Winnipeg Jets at Edmonton Oilers NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Winnipeg Jets (8-5-1) begin a two-game set on the road against the Edmonton Oilers (9-7-0) Monday with a 9 p.m. ET puck drop at Rogers Place. Below, we analyze the Jets-Oilers NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Winnipeg dropped two of its last three games. After beating the Ottawa Senators 5-1 Thursday, the Jets were doubled up 2-1 in the second half of that set.

Edmonton has won three straight games and is coming off a 3-0 blanking of the Montreal Canadiens on the road Thursday. These teams met in Winnipeg Jan. 24 and 26 with each side earning a victory.

Jets at Oilers: Projected starting goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (6-4-1, .921 SV%, 2.36 GAA) vs. Mikko Koskinen (6-7-0, .895 SV%, 3.43 GAA)

Hellebuyck comes off the 2-1 loss to the Senators in which he stopped 27 of 29 shots on goal. He made 41 stops on 42 shots in the prior victory. He allowed 4 goals on 26 shots against the Oilers earlier this season, but he went 2-1-0 against them last season with just 5 goals allowed on 88 total shots over three appearances.

Koskinen stopped 40 of 42 shots in a win over the Senators Tuesday and enters Monday’s contest on plenty of rest. He got the win in three of his last four starts, but he posted a save percentage of just .886 while playing both games against the Jets in January.

Jets at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 3, Oilers 2

Money line (ML)

The JETS (+115) are the play with a significant edge in the goaltending battle. Recently-acquired C Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) isn’t expected to play Monday but there should still be enough offense after the Jets totaled 9 goals in two games against the Oilers less than a month ago.

Both teams struggle with puck possession and rank near the bottom-third of the league in Corsi For percentage and scoring chances at 5-on-5. The Oilers rely heavily on a 10th-ranked power-play unit but the Jets spend less time in the box than all but four other teams.

A disciplined effort from the Jets gives them a shot at the road upset.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the chalky puck line play and stick with Winnipeg for the outright win. Hellebuyck should keep his team within a goal for much of the game but there’s potential for an empty-net goal from either side.

Over/Under (O/U)

Lean to the UNDER 6.5 (-110). The two games between these two last month saw totals of 7 and 10 goals scored but two of the three head-to-head meetings last season played to the Under.

The Oilers have also played to three straight Unders coming into Monday while the Jets are 0-4-1 against the O/U in their last five games.

Oilers at Flames: Projected starting goalies

Mikko Koskinen (5-6-0, .897 SV%, 3.31 GAA) vs. Jacob Markstrom (4-3-1, .920 SV%, 2.37 GAA, 2 SO)

Koskinen has been up and down, but lately it’s been all up. He enters the game with consecutive wins for the first time this season, including 23 saves on 25 shots in a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators last time out. This is the first of 10 meetings between these provincial rivals this season. Koskinen was 0-2-0 with a 4.16 GAA and .877 SV% in two starts and a relief appearances vs. CGY last season.

Markstrom has already posted two shutouts, although he has allowed three or more goals in four of his past five outings. The Flames haven’t really provided him with adequate offensive support lately, scoring just 2.4 goals per game over his five starts. Markstrom went 2-2-0 with a .908 SV% and 2.54 GAA in three starts vs. EDM as a member of the Vancouver Canucks last season.

Oilers at Flames: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Flames 5, Oilers 3

Money line (ML)

The FLAMES (-130) have owned this series in recent seasons, winning seven of the past 10 meetings. The favorite is also 8-3 across the past 11.

Given Markstrom’s solid showing last season against the Oilers, and Koskinen’s struggles against the Flames last season, it’s a good bet Calgary continues to burn its rival.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The FLAMES -1.5 (+195) are worth a small-unit play, as you can nearly double up your initial stake, and that’s always attractive. Three of Calgary’s four wins have come by two or more goals.

In fact, their winning margin is 2.3 goals per game, with three wins in regulation by a total of eight goals with one shootout victory.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 6.5 (-115) is 3-0-1 in the past four meetings in this series, and 9-3-1 in the past 13 meetings in Calgary. Couple that with the fact the Over is an impressive 5-1 across the past six for the Oilers, and the Over is a great play in this Battle of Alberta.

Matt Murray (1-4-1, .849 SV%, 4.82 GAA) vs. Mikko Koskinen (4-6-0, .895 SV%, 3.45 GAA)

Murray has allowed at least 3 goals in all seven games in which he has played and was pulled after allowing 3 goals on just 9 shots in only 7:20 of action Sunday. It was the second time he has been pulled early this season.

Koskinen had a night off Sunday and will play for the first time since stopping 26 of 29 shots in a win over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday. He has allowed 3-plus goals in each of his last five games, but he has two wins in that span.

Senators at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oilers 6, Senators 3

Money line (ML)

The Oilers (-225) are the obvious play, but we don’t need to risk it for the small profit available on the money line. The rebuilding Senators have been spiraling downward after a couple of promising early performances.

There aren’t any significant changes on the horizon and that doesn’t bode well for hope of improvement.

PASS on the money line and back the Oilers to win by 2 or more goals on the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Senators registered 63.95% of the total shot attempts at 5-on-5, including blocked and missed shots, and 55.81% of the scoring chances at full strength. Alas, the Oilers went 4-for-5 on the power play in the game and led 5-3 after the first period after chasing Murray inside the first 8 minutes.

Defense and goaltending are the biggest weaknesses for Ottawa, and that’s all Edmonton bettors need to hear. Bet OILERS -1.5 (+115) to win by at least 2 goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (-140) is the play once again after Sunday’s game easily eclipsed a projected total of 6.5 goals, as well.

The Sens have lost six straight games by multi-goal margins and Murray’s aforementioned struggles aren’t being cleaned up by backup Marcus Hogberg. The onslaught will continue at Rogers Place.

Murray has allowed at least 3 goals in all seven games in which he has played and was pulled after allowing 3 goals on just 9 shots in only 7:20 of action Sunday. It was the second time he has been pulled early this season.

Koskinen had a night off Sunday and will play for the first time since stopping 26 of 29 shots in a win over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday. He has allowed 3-plus goals in each of his last five games, but he has two wins in that span.

Senators at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oilers 6, Senators 3

Money line (ML)

The Oilers (-225) are the obvious play, but we don’t need to risk it for the small profit available on the money line. The rebuilding Senators have been spiraling downward after a couple of promising early performances.

There aren’t any significant changes on the horizon and that doesn’t bode well for hope of improvement.

PASS on the money line and back the Oilers to win by 2 or more goals on the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Senators registered 63.95% of the total shot attempts at 5-on-5, including blocked and missed shots, and 55.81% of the scoring chances at full strength. Alas, the Oilers went 4-for-5 on the power play in the game and led 5-3 after the first period after chasing Murray inside the first 8 minutes.

Defense and goaltending are the biggest weaknesses for Ottawa, and that’s all Edmonton bettors need to hear. Bet OILERS -1.5 (+115) to win by at least 2 goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (-140) is the play once again after Sunday’s game easily eclipsed a projected total of 6.5 goals, as well.

The Sens have lost six straight games by multi-goal margins and Murray’s aforementioned struggles aren’t being cleaned up by backup Marcus Hogberg. The onslaught will continue at Rogers Place.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (6-2-0) travel to meet the Edmonton Oilers (3-5-0) at Rogers Place Thursday for a 10 p.m. ET puck drop. Below, we analyze the Maple Leafs-Oilers NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Maple Leafs at Oilers: Odds, spread and lines

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 4:18 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Maple Leafs -130 (bet $130 to win $100) | Oilers +110 (bet $100 to win $110)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Maple Leafs -1.5 (+195) | Oilers +1.5 (-250)
  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Maple Leafs at Oilers: Projected starting goalies

Frederik Andersen (4-2-0, 2.84 GAA, .896 SV%) at Mikko Koskinen (3-5-0, 3.42 GAA, .900 SV%)

Andersen is expected to start this game, as backup G Jack Campbell is unavailable due to a lower-body injury. Second-string backup G Michael Hutchinson can’t be trusted, so look for the Ginger Dane to get his third start against the Oilers this season. Andersen allowed two Edmonton goals on 21 shots in a 3-1 loss Jan. 20 before rebounding with 30 saves in a 4-2 win over the Oilers Friday.

Koskiken was on the other end of the ice for those two games against the Leafs. He yielded just one goal on 26 shots in the 3-1 win, and allowed only three goals on 28 shots in the 4-2 loss. Look for Koskinen to start for this third installment Thursday.

Maple Leafs at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Maple Leafs 4, Oilers 2

Money line (ML)

The MAPLE LEAFS (-130) are the play in Game 3 between these teams. The Leafs have won each of their past four trips to Rogers Place, and they have won 19 of their previous 26 battles against the Oilers. The road team has also cashed in four of the past five meetings. If that doesn’t convince you, the favorite has hit in 16 of the past 21 meetings, too.

Against the spread (ATS)

The MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (+195) are worth a small-unit play as you can nearly double up if they win by two goals. It might take an empty-netter at the end as it won’t be easy, but the winner in the first two games of this series also hit the puck line. While the Leafs have covered the puck line in just two of six games overall, they’re a good value at this price.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 6.5 (-105) is the play as the Under is 4-1-1 in the past six games overall for the Leafs. Edmonton was outscored 9-8 in splitting two games Sunday and Tuesday with the Winnipeg Jets in the last two games, but the Over hit in each. However, the Under is 3-2-1 in the past six for the Oilers. In this head-to-head series, the Under is 12-5-4 in the past 21 in Edmonton, and 3-1-1 in the past five meetings overall.
