Philadelphia Flyers vs Edmonton Oilers: Preview

The Flyers remain on the road for its third-straight game as Philadelphia plays a desperate Edmonton team.

The Flyers are coming off a disappointing loss to Calgary in a game Philadelphia was blown out in. Philly's goaltending was a question mark entering this NHL season and through two games, it does look like it could be a problem.

Edmonton, meanwhile, is searching for its first win as the Oilers have struggled to begin the year, which was an issue last season. Edmonton's goaltending has been a major issue as Stuart Skinner hasn't looked comfortable in the net.

The Oilers' potent offense has also struggled to get going.

Flyers vs Oilers: Odds & Prediction

Philadelphia is a +190 underdog while Edmonton is a -230 favorite. The over/under is set at 6.5 goals.

The Oilers have struggled mightily to begin the year as Skinner has struggled. However, this is a good rebound spot for Edmonton as Philadelphia's offense leaves a lot to be desired.

The Flyers are nearing the end of a lengthy West Coast road trip to begin the season. Edmonton should be able to get their first win of the season here, as the Flyers goaltending is also an issue and this Oilers offense will finally get going.

Prediction: Oilers 5, Flyers 3.
