Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction & Picks, October 26, 2026

The odds for the Detroit Red Wings to win at +155 are pretty tempting. They've struggled a bit lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games, but they have shown some grit. They land more hits than average, which can really help them wear down the opposition. Their defense has also been solid, blocking more shots than most teams in the league. On the other hand, the Edmonton Oilers are on fire, winning 8 of their last 10. They have a strong team and play well at home, which makes this a tough matchup for Detroit. The risk here is that Edmonton is in great form and hard to beat. Still, with the potential upside in the odds, Detroit could surprise everyone.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Under 6.5 Total Goals (+105)

The Edmonton Oilers have been on a roll lately, winning 8 out of their last 10 games. Their solid defense shines through, as they block an average of 14.1 shots per game, matching the league average, and they also land a high number of hits. On the other hand, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled, winning only 4 of their last 10. They do block a few more shots than Edmonton but still sit below the Oilers' overall performance. With both teams playing strong defense, the total goals should stay low. Our numbers suggest a combined total of about 5.9, which gives us a good chance to hit the Under 6.5. The biggest risk here is how evenly matched these teams are, which could lead to unexpected scoring. Still, I think this bet has solid potential!

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Detroit Red Wings +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-130)

Betting on the Detroit Red Wings to cover the third period puck line at +0.5 offers good value, especially with the odds currently at -130. The Red Wings have been working hard, averaging 15.4 blocked shots per game, which is above the league average. They also land 23.8 hits per game, showing they aren't afraid to get physical and can make it tough for the Oilers to score late. On the other hand, the Oilers have been hot lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. This makes it a close matchup, as both teams have their strengths. The biggest risk is that the Oilers are playing at home and have been on a winning streak, but the Red Wings have the tenacity to keep it tight and fight for a strong finish.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Leon Draisaitl Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (-145)

Leon Draisaitl is facing the Detroit Red Wings, who have been pretty solid at blocking shots lately. They've averaged about 15 blocked shots a game, which is better than the league average. On top of that, Draisaitl is up against a defense that is known for being tough to get through, especially when they're playing hard on the road. Even though Draisaitl is a skilled player, betting on him to have under 3.5 shots on goal seems smart. The Oilers are also good at landing hits and blocking shots, which could limit his chances even more. There's always a chance he breaks out, but with the way Detroit's been playing, this bet looks like a good choice.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Lucas Raymond Over 0.5 Points (-149)

Lucas Raymond has been a solid player this season, and he seems to be getting more chances to shine when he plays away from home. The Edmonton Oilers are on a hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10 games, which means they'll likely keep the pressure on. With both teams showing good defensive play by blocking shots, it makes scoring a bit tougher, but the Oilers' recent form suggests they'll create plenty of opportunities. Betting on Lucas Raymond to get at least one point looks promising, especially since he averages more time on the ice at home. The biggest risk here is that he could have a tough night against a well-matched Oilers team. Still, with his recent performances and Edmonton's offensive prowess, this bet feels like a smart shot.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Ryan Shea Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (-164)

The Edmonton Oilers have been tough to beat lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. Their strong play is backed by solid defense, as they block the same number of shots as the league average. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings are struggling, having only won 4 of their last 10. With both teams being physical, the Oilers land plenty of hits, which could limit scoring chances. Ryan Shea is a player to watch in this matchup, and we're picking him to have under 1.5 shots on goal. The Red Wings are likely to focus on shutting him down, especially considering their own solid shot-blocking stats. The most concrete risk is that Shea could surprise us and take more shots than expected, but our numbers give this bet a good chance.
