- The Edmonton Oilers’ Stanley Cup odds (+800) are the third shortest.
- Only the New Jersey Devils are better on home ice than the Oilers’ 4-0-2 record at Rogers Place.
- Edmonton has the best power play (33.3%), up from fourth in my last update.
On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2, winning their second overtime game of the season. That improved their overtime record to 2-0-3.
One of the Oilers’ most notable strengths last season was their 12-0-5 overtime record, setting a particularly high bar.
Kris Knoblauch’s team has also struggled at the start of games, conceding the first goal in eight of the previous 10. Only two teams (the Vegas Golden Knights and Ottawa Senators) have allowed the first goal more.
Edmonton has a 2-4-2 record in such games, with its .250 point percentage ranking 19th, tied with the Buffalo Sabres, who’ve also allowed the first goal eight times.
Fortunately, the Oilers have enough game-breaking talent to offset their poor starts. They have the league’s best power play, working at a 33.3% clip. In the previous three home games, the Oilers have scored on three of seven opportunities.
Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup Odds
The Oilers have the third-shortest Stanley Cup odds (+800), with the Vegas Golden Knights (+750) leapfrogging them on the leaderboard since my last update.
The Colorado Avalanche remain the favourites to win the Stanley Cup, with their +650 odds implying a 13.33% probability. The Avs’ odds improved from +700 in the last week, while the Oilers’ odds remain unchanged.
Edmonton’s Stanley Cup odds carry a 11.11% probability.
Edmonton Oilers Western Conference Odds
Akin to the Stanley Cup odds, the Oilers (+425) trail the Golden Knights (+400) and Avalanche (+360) at the BetMGM sportsbook to reach the Stanley Cup Final.
The Avs have only lost one of 13 games in regulation. However, they are winless in overtime and the shootout, having lost all five games that required the extra frame.
While it’s early, the Oilers have flipped last season’s script. They have the second-best point percentage on home ice (.833), tied with the Detroit Red Wings, and the eighth-worst road point percentage (.357).
Last season, they were tied for sixth-best on the road (.585) and were 13th-best at home (.646).
Edmonton Oilers Pacific Division Odds
Despite erasing last week’s three-point deficit at the top of the Pacific Division, the Oilers’ odds to win took a slight hit, lengthening from +180 to +195.
The Golden Knights are the -130 betting favourite to repeat as the division winner. Those odds shortened from -118 to -130 since my last update.
The Los Angeles Kings (+700) remain in a distant third.
Edmonton Oilers Next Game
The Oilers are heading into their most difficult patch of the season, with nine of the next 11 games in enemy territory, six of which are against last year’s playoff teams.
Between now and Nov. 25, Edmonton will play the Dallas Stars twice, the Avalanche, the Carolina Hurricanes, the Washington Capitals, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Florida Panthers.
