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

The odds for the Detroit Red Wings to win are pretty appealing at +152. They've had a tough time lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games, but they've shown they can hold their own. The Red Wings block more shots than the league average, which could help them keep the Oilers from scoring too easily. On the flip side, the Edmonton Oilers have been strong lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. They also land a lot of hits, which could put pressure on the Red Wings. However, the Oilers' recent form makes this matchup close, and the Red Wings definitely have a fighting chance.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Under 6.5 Total Goals (+100)

The Edmonton Oilers have been on a roll lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. They have been good at defending, blocking an average of 14.1 shots per game, which is right on par with the league average. On the other hand, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled a bit, winning only 4 of their last 10 games. Their defense also shows up with 15.4 blocked shots per game, but they might have a tougher time against the Oilers' strong offense. With both teams showing solid defensive play, this matchup could lead to fewer goals than expected. The combined total is estimated to be around 5.9, which is below the line of 6.5. The biggest risk is that both teams can score when they need to, but given their recent trends, betting on under 6.5 total goals seems like a smart choice.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Detroit Red Wings +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-145)

The odds are showing a good chance for the Detroit Red Wings to keep things tight in the third period against the Edmonton Oilers, with the puck line set at +0.5. The Oilers are on a hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10 games, but the Red Wings have also been competitive despite only winning 4 of their last 10. They have a solid defense, blocking more shots than average while landing a good number of hits, which shows they're not afraid to get physical. The main worry is that the Oilers have been playing really well lately, making it tough for any team to hang with them. But if the Red Wings can keep up their strong defensive play and take advantage of any chances, they might just pull off a strong third period. Let's see how it goes!

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Lucas Raymond Over 0.5 Points (-147)

Lucas Raymond has been averaging a solid number of shots on goal this season, with over three per game. Even though he has only scored in two of the last ten games, he tends to perform better at home when it comes to assists. With the Edmonton Oilers playing well, winning eight of their last ten games, they could create plenty of scoring chances, which might help Raymond get on the score sheet. While the Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, blocking more shots than the league average, the Oilers' aggressive style of play with lots of hits could open up opportunities for Raymond. The risk here is that the Oilers' strong form may put pressure on the Red Wings, making it harder for Raymond to find his rhythm. Still, with the right setup, he should be able to get at least one point in this matchup.

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

Lucas Raymond has shown he can score on the road, averaging half a goal per game away from home. The Edmonton Oilers are on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games, which means they're playing with a lot of confidence. They're also good at getting hits and blocking shots, making it tough for opponents, but Raymond has the skill to find a way through. The biggest risk here is that both teams are closely matched in terms of shot-blocking and physical play. The Oilers are strong at home, but the Red Wings have been struggling lately, winning only 4 of their last 10. Still, with the odds at +250, this bet on Raymond to score could pay off nicely if he finds the right moment.

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings: Vasily Podkolzin Over 1.5 Assists (+1500)

Vasily Podkolzin has been getting more chances lately, and the Oilers are scoring a lot. Edmonton has won 8 of their last 10 games, showing they know how to find the back of the net. Podkolzin could be in a great spot to rack up assists with the way the Oilers are playing. The bet for over 1.5 assists might seem like a long shot, but it's worth a thought. The risk here is that the Red Wings have been pretty solid on defense, blocking more shots than average. Still, if Podkolzin gets the puck in the right spots, he could surprise us!
