Philadelphia Flyers vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: Expect a win for the guests

Prediction for the NHL Philadelphia Flyers vs Edmonton Oilers match, which will take place on February 10. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Philadelphia is making its regular season debut under John Tortorella and doing so with mixed success. The Flyers had a surprisingly good start to the season but suffered a severe setback. In their previous seven games, the Flyers won only twice and lost five times, which allowed them to drop to 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings, and their chances of staying in the top 8 now look slim.

Edmonton is following the same scenario for the second regular season. The only difference is that a year earlier, the Oilers changed their head coach to improve their results, and now they have decided to do without that unpleasant procedure. Now the Blue-orange are in great shape, confirmed by a nine-match series with the points scored during which Jay Woodcroft's wards gained nine victories, having lost to Columbus once in overtime - 2:3. Edmonton now sits sixth in the Western Conference standings.

Philadelphia and Edmonton are rivals on different levels at the moment. If the Pilots, for another year in a row, act as the league outsider, the Oilmen overcome the crisis and are gradually approaching the fight for the Stanley Cup. The teams are now in different forms: The Pennsylvanians have suffered four losses in their last five games, while the Canadiens have won eight of their previous nine battles. Of course, Jay Woodcroft's wards are also the favorites in the upcoming confrontation, so we have to bet on Edmonton's victory.

Edmonton recently not only scores points in all games without exception but also consistently performs well on offense. The statistics show that the Oilers scored 45 goals in their previous nine games (5.00 goals-against average). All the Blue-Orange leaders are in great form right now, so they'll need to show their mettle on offense again. From this point of view, the best choice for our prediction is an individual total of Edmonton over 3.5 pucks, and we should look separately at the bet on the total over 0.5 points of Darnell Nurse.
