The Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers will meet at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Wednesday. The Oilers travel into Philadelphia as favorites on the road, but the Flyers’ defense and home‑ice advantage give them a legitimate chance to get the win here. I’ll dig into both squads, examine key player stats, and make my Oilers vs Flyers prediction right here.

Key Storylines
Recent form
- Edmonton enters this game with a record of 7‑6‑4. They snapped a three-game losing streak in their last game, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 in overtime at home. The Oilers are 2-5-2 on the road this season and will try to turn things around on the road here.
- Philadelphia is 8‑5‑2 this season and they had a two-game winning streak snapped in their last contest. The Flyers lost 3-2 in overtime to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. But that many days off could mean a fresh and focused Flyers team for this game.
Goaltending
The Oilers’ goals‑against average of 3.47 as a team is concerning. Stuart Skinner has a GAA of 2.91, which isn’t great, but is better than the overall team average. While their offense can keep them in games, the defensive zone has been shaky for the Oil. Philadelphia’s defense is significantly better at 2.60 goals allowed per game. Dan Vladar is second in the league in GAA at 2.18 going into this contest.
Key skaters
- Edmonton: Connor McDavid leads the Oilers with 24 points, including 17 assists. Leon Draisaitl has 10 goals and 18 points through 17 games.
- Philadelphia: Trevor Zegras has 16 points, including 12 assists. Travis Konecny has five goals and 13 points. But no player has more than five goals for the Flyers this season, which is alarming.

Final Thoughts
The Flyers have a rest advantage going into this game to go along with their home-ice advantage. Edmonton’s struggles on the road this season are well-documented and they very well could continue in this contest. I’ll take the Flyers to win as an underdog on home ice here, as they should continue the suffering of the Oilers away from Edmonton.
