The Edmonton Oilers are sizable home favorites over the Anaheim Ducks ahead of their 8 p.m. ET puck drop at Rogers Place on Thursday, Nov. 5.
My favorite Oilers vs. Ducks prediction and NHL picks call for Anaheim to struggle defensively again tonight against the Edmonton attack.
TOP PICK
Ducks vs Oilers prediction: Oilers moneyline
I’m confident in the Edmonton Oilers moneyline up to 67% and would also recommend shifting to the Oil -1.5 puck line if you prefer because the prices are correlated.
The Anaheim Ducks lack depth and have allowed goals in bunches with a league-high 4.4 per night over their past 10 games.
Edmonton is 11-2-3 for the season and has received a recent boost in net with Tristan Jarry finding his form, too. Jarry has stopped 73 of 76 shots across his past three starts with 4.24 goals saved above expected.
The Oilers are also tied for the most goals per game (4.13) with the second-highest goal differential in the league.
COVERS INTEL: The Oilers have scored the fifth-most goals per 60 minutes off the rush, and the Ducks have surrendered the fifth-most goals per 60 off the rush.
Ducks vs Oilers combo
Pairing Ducks wingers Cutter Gauthier and Beckett Sennecke with the Oilers moneyline is a nice multiplier for this combo. The Anaheim duo skate together in all offensive situations and have combined for 18 goals and 13 assists this season.
Gauthier and Sennecke have also been on the ice for an eye-popping 6.16 expected goals per 60 minutes to go along with a solid 57.7 Corsi For percentage and 54.1 xGF% at five-on-five.
Ducks vs Oilers combo
- Oilers moneyline
- Cutter Gauthier 1+ points
- Beckett Sennecke 1+ points
Ducks vs Oilers player prop: Vasily Podkolzin 1+ points
I recommend this point prop up to 54%.
Despite skating with the two highest scorers in the league, Oilers winger Vasily Podkolzin has only marked the scoresheet in two of his past seven games. This is the perfect spot for Podkolzin to click again with linemates Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
The Ducks have surrendered a league-high 4.4 goals per game while ranking 26th in expected goals percentage at five-on-five across their past 10 games.
Ducks vs Oilers goal scorer: Leon Draisaitl
Draisaitl is in play to find the back of the net up to 56%.
He snapped a four-game goal drought last time out and is up to an impressive 2.24 individual expected goals and 21 scoring chances across the five-game stretch.
With the Ducks allowing goals in bunches, Draisaitl is in a perfect spot considering his 7.1% shooting percentage during the noted five-game run is way below his overall 20.4% mark since the beginning of the 2022-23 campaign.
