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

The odds are giving the Detroit Red Wings a nice shot at +168 to win against the Edmonton Oilers, and that's worth a look. The Oilers have been strong lately, winning seven of their last ten games. However, the Red Wings have some potential, and they're known for being unpredictable, so they could surprise everyone. A big risk here is that the Oilers have been blocking shots and hitting hard, which could make it tough for the Red Wings to get their scoring chances. Still, the Red Wings can pull off an upset, especially if they play smart and take advantage of any mistakes.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Under 6.5 Total Goals (+102)

The Edmonton Oilers have been scoring well lately, winning 7 out of their last 10 games. They also play strong defense, blocking almost as many shots as the league average and landing more hits than most teams. On the other hand, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled, winning only 3 of their last 10. This makes for a matchup where the Oilers might control the pace and limit scoring chances. With both teams showing different forms, betting on fewer than 6.5 total goals seems smart. Our numbers suggest the combined total might be close to 5.9, which is under what we're betting. The biggest risk is that the Oilers could score more than expected, but their recent defensive play gives us a solid reason to believe this game won't be a high-scoring affair.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Detroit Red Wings +1.5 Puck Line (-139)

Betting on the Detroit Red Wings to stay within 1.5 goals against the Edmonton Oilers at -139 seems like a good choice. The Oilers have been strong lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games, but the Red Wings have shown they can hang tough. They might not be winning often, with only 3 wins in their last 10, but they have a solid mix of left and right shooters that can keep the game close. The Oilers do block a lot of shots, but the Red Wings have enough skill to get their chances. Playing at Rogers Place might give the Oilers a boost, yet the Red Wings can surprise. The real risk here is how well the Oilers have been playing, making it tough for any team to keep up. Still, this pick has a decent chance of hitting.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Connor McDavid Under 0.5 Goals (-130)

The Edmonton Oilers are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They've been tough on defense, blocking an average of 14 shots per game, right in line with the league average. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, only winning 3 of their last 10. This could make it hard for them to find the back of the net. Betting on Connor McDavid to score under 0.5 goals seems smart here. He'll face a solid Oilers defense that's doing well at home. The most concrete risk is that McDavid can be a game-changer, and if he gets hot, he can score at any moment. Still, this matchup gives us a good chance for the under bet.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Lucas Raymond Over 0.5 Goals (+250)

Lucas Raymond has been a bright spot for the Detroit Red Wings this season, and he's a player to keep an eye on. With the Oilers winning 7 of their last 10 games and playing strong on home ice, it's likely there will be plenty of chances to score. The Oilers also do a good job blocking shots, but that might just open the door for someone like Raymond to sneak one in. The bet is for him to score at least one goal. While the odds are tempting, the risk is that the game could be tight, so not every shot will find the net. Still, with the way both teams are playing, a goal from Raymond feels like a good shot.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Viktor Arvidsson Over 1.5 Goals (+2500)

For this bet to hit, Viktor Arvidsson needs to score at least two goals tonight against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers have been on fire lately, winning seven of their last ten games and playing with a lot of energy, which could create plenty of scoring chances. They also have a solid defense, blocking an average number of shots, but that just means Arvidsson might need to work harder to find his opportunities. However, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled recently, winning only three of their last ten games. This means they might not be able to keep up if the Oilers get rolling early. Since Arvidsson is a long shot to score twice, there's a real chance this could fall short if he doesn't get enough chances, but when he gets hot, he can surprise everyone.
