The Edmonton Oilers are in excellent form, with a strong home record and a potent offense led by McDavid and Draisaitl. Detroit has shown improvement under McLellan, but their struggles against Edmonton in recent years and their inconsistent road performance make the Oilers the better pick to cover the spread. Edmonton's depth and goaltending edge further solidify this choice.
