Anaheim Ducks vs Edmonton Oilers

March 4th 2025 | 9:00 PM EST | Rogers Place, Edmonton, AB

Edmonton Oilers
Grade B: Edmonton Oilers Moneyline (-355)

The Oilers, led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, enter this matchup in strong form, having won eight of their last nine meetings with the Ducks. Edmonton’s offense has been firing on all cylinders, averaging 3.6 goals per game over their last five contests. Meanwhile, Anaheim has dropped five straight and continues to struggle defensively, allowing 17 goals over their past four games. The Ducks will also be without top defenseman Cam Fowler, further weakening their ability to contain the Oilers' high-powered attack. Betting on Edmonton’s moneyline at -355 is a safe play, though the low return limits its value, earning this pick a B grade.

Grade B+: Edmonton Oilers Puckline -1.5

The Edmonton Oilers, currently on a winning streak, host the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Place. The Oilers' dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have been instrumental in recent victories, showcasing their offensive prowess. In contrast, the Ducks have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 3.3 goals per game. Historically, Edmonton has dominated this matchup, winning the previous three meetings this season, including a 5-3 victory in February. With both teams deep into the season, playoff aspirations are on the line, adding intensity to this contest. Considering these factors, betting on the Oilers to cover the puck line at -1.5 offers value. This prediction is graded as a B+, reflecting a strong likelihood of Edmonton's decisive win and favorable return on investment.​

Grade B+: Over 6.5 Total Goals

The Edmonton Oilers, led by standout forward Leon Draisaitl, who has amassed 44 goals and 46 assists this season, are set to face the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Place. The Oilers have been dominant at home, winning their last four games at Rogers Place. In contrast, the Ducks have shown resilience, recently securing a 4-3 overtime victory against the Winnipeg Jets, with Troy Terry contributing two goals. Historically, matchups between these teams have been high-scoring, with recent games exceeding the 6.5 goals mark. Given these trends, betting on the over for total goals scored is advisable. Confidence Level: B+; the over bet offers a favorable balance between risk and potential return.
