Matchup Breakdown
Edmonton Outlook: The Oilers rank top-10 in scoring with 52 goals and own the NHL’s third-best power play. Connor McDavid (24 points in 17 games) and Leon Draisaitl (18 points) drive an attack that generates pressure but can lag early. Starting a seven-game road trip, Edmonton must avoid slow first periods to stay in control.
Philadelphia Outlook: The Flyers are 8-5-2 and have shown strong defensive structure, ranking mid-pack in goals allowed but struggling with early deficits. Travis Konecny leads with 13 points, while Dan Vladar gives them stability in net. Their physical edge and shot-blocking can frustrate Edmonton if they dictate tempo.
