Oilers ML−178
Pick locks at 5:40PM ET
Calgary has won four straight, and Devin Cooley is the reason. Edmonton has lost two in a row, including a 7-2 beating from Toronto. I’m still taking the Oilers at home, because one hot week doesn’t erase the gap between these rosters.
The Matchup
- Calgary is streaking. The Flames beat Toronto 5-2 on Monday for their fourth win in a row. They’re still minus 13 on the season, with 28 goals for and 41 against.
- Edmonton can score. The Oilers have 52 goals in 12 games. Leon Draisaitl has 12 goals, and Connor McDavid has 34 points.
- Edmonton’s skid. The Oilers lost 7-2 to Toronto and then 4-3 in a shootout to Detroit.
- Puck drop. 8:30 PM ET at Rogers Place, on Prime.
The Goalies
Devin Cooley has started four straight for Calgary and is at 91.5%. Expect him again.
Tristan Jarry has started Edmonton’s last two and is at 86.8%. Neither is confirmed yet.
The Number
Take the margin out and the market makes Edmonton about a 62% favorite, down from 65% on Tuesday night with no goalie change. Our ratings have the Oilers closer to 69%, and that already counts Jarry’s rough start.
The honest case against: Edmonton’s goaltending is the worst thing about this team, and Cooley is playing as well as anyone in the building. It’s a Game Pick, a lean, and like every pick we post, it lands on the receipts page win or lose.
Bottom Line
Take the Oilers on the moneyline at -178 at FanDuel. Lean. The better team at home, coming off two bad nights. Let’s go Oilers.
Lines as posted Wednesday. Goalies are expected, not confirmed, so check them before puck drop.
Same-Game Parlay
One read in two legs. If Edmonton has the puck all night, Calgary’s secondary shooters go quiet. Every leg needs the same game, so this is one position, not two bets.

Best Prop for This Game
We stick to shots on goal for hockey props, and we start from the under. It has a trend, a matchup and a real price behind it. It’s a Game Pick prop, a separate bet from our pick, so keep it small.
