The Edmonton Oilers head south to face the Calgary Flames for the Battle of Alberta at the Scotiabank Saddledome tonight.

My Oilers vs. Flames predictions and top NHL picks are calling for Edmonton to win the rivalry’s final installment of the season tonight.

Oilers vs Flames prediction

Oilers vs Flames best bet: Oilers moneyline (-130)

The Edmonton Oilers allowing a pair of power-play tallies and an empty-net goal in the third period to lose 5-2 to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday has provided an excellent price on Edmonton against the Calgary Flames tonight.

Calgary is 1-4-2 since trading defenseman Rasmus Andersson, and the Flames have scored the fewest goals per game (1.72) during the stretch.

This is also a bounceback spot for Edmonton, and I think the Oilers playing for the second consecutive night is too priced into the odds, given the proximity of the two cities.

Oilers vs Flames same-game parlay

In addition to the highlighted offensive shortcomings in Calgary, the Flames have also only hit the Over in two of their past 13 games. The Oilers are sporting the lowest team save percentage at 5-on-5 during the same stretch, too, so I’m anticipating improvement in net for Edmonton tonight to help keep this total Under the number.

Turning to Edmonton winger Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, he’s marked the scoresheet in 11 of 16 games since the calendar flipped to January. Skating with superstar Connor McDavid at 5-on-5 and with the No. 1 power-play is a huge help, with Nugent-Hopkins and No. 97 being on the ice for an elite 6.77 goals per 60 minutes this season.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
