Edmonton vs Philadelphia Prediction 12 November 2026
🔊 Edmonton return to the ice at Rogers Place after two straight wins. McDavid and Draisaitl are again driving the team's attack, while Devon Levi is looking increasingly assured in goal. Things have been much tougher for Philadelphia, although a recent win over Vancouver lifted their spirits a little. The Flyers had a hard time holding on to their lead, though. Now they must contain an attack that is particularly dangerous on the power play. The Flyers won in Edmonton last season. Can they do it again?
Revenge secured
📊 Last season, the teams split their two games, with the visitors winning both times. Edmonton first won 2:1 in Philadelphia, with Jack Roslovic scoring the decisive goal in overtime. Two months later, the Philadelphia Flyers travelled to Canada and took revenge (5:2). Five different players scored for the visitors, while Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard scored for the hosts. Despite each team winning once, the Edmonton Oilers took three points from those games to the Flyers’ two.
Head-to-head statistics Edmonton - Philadelphia
The majority decides a lot
Edmonton lead the Pacific Division with 29 points. The Oilers have won their last two games, beating Vancouver and the Rangers. Their main strength remains their offence, especially on the power play. They are converting 35.3% of their power plays, so taking penalties against them can be costly. Connor McDavid has 48 points (11+37), and his point streak has reached 19 games. Leon Draisaitl is keeping pace: after scoring twice in the last game, the German moved to the top of the NHL goalscoring list with 18 goals.
The Oilers began the game against the Rangers with a gift from their opponents. Dylan Garand made a mistake behind the net, and McDavid immediately capitalised. In the second period, Draisaitl doubled the lead with a shot through traffic, but the visitors soon replied with a shorthanded goal. Devon Levi then had plenty of work to do. The goaltender made 28 saves, including one on a particularly dangerous breakaway by Ty Cartier. Late on, Draisaitl scored into an empty net to seal the win (3:1). Notably, Edmonton failed to score on any of their three power plays in this game.

A narrow win
Philadelphia are sixth in the Metropolitan Division with 15 points. They had lost three straight games before their trip to Vancouver, so the recent win came at an especially welcome time. The problems have not gone away, though. Wins have been hard to come by for the Flyers, and their penalty kill looks particularly important against their upcoming opponents. They have done well in that area, killing off 83.3% of penalties. Trevor Zegras leads the attack with 14 points, while Matvei Michkov has scored ten goals.
Philadelphia played two very different stretches against Vancouver. The visitors controlled the game at first: Michael Bunting opened the scoring, and Travis Konecny doubled the lead from a Michkov pass on the power play. The Flyers allowed their opponents just six shots on goal in the first 40 minutes. But everything changed in the third period. Tyson Foerster had a goal disallowed for offside, after which Vancouver took the initiative and cut the deficit. Philadelphia were outshot 13-2 in the final 20 minutes, but Joseph Woll preserved the lead, and Travis Sanheim scored into an empty net (3:1).

First-Period Prediction
Fewer than 2.5 goals have been scored in the first period in each of Edmonton Oilers' last 11 games. At home, they average 0.82 goals scored and 0.64 goals allowed in that period; Philadelphia Flyers' away figures are 0.6 and 0.6. We pick First-Period Total Goals Under 2.5 at odds of 1.3.
Total Goals Prediction
At home, Edmonton have scored more than 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head games against Philadelphia. They have averaged 3.64 goals at home this season and 3.71 in their recent home games; Philadelphia have allowed an average of 3 goals per away game this season. We pick Edmonton Team Total Over 2.5 Goals at odds of 1.41.
Reliable Bet
Edmonton have avoided defeat in the first period in eight straight games. At home, they concede an average of 0.64 goals in the first period, while Philadelphia score 0.6 goals in that period on the road. We pick Edmonton not to lose the first period at odds of 1.27.
*The odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Philadelphia managed to beat Vancouver, but the third period of that game raised plenty of questions. The Flyers virtually stopped attacking and allowed their opponents 13 shots on goal. Against Edmonton, lapses like that could prove far more costly. The Oilers have McDavid and Draisaitl, and their power-play percentage stands at 35.3%. The head-to-head record also points towards a high-scoring game. At least six goals have been scored in 11 of the last 12 games between these teams in Edmonton. Even with Philadelphia's decent penalty kill, I expect plenty of goals here. My pick is Over 5.5 Goals.
