The Detroit Red Wings will look to make it a successful back-to-back when they face the Edmonton Oilers at 9 p.m. EST on Thursday. The Red Wings seem to be hitting their stride, rebounding from a four-game losing streak to rattle off four wins in their last five contests. The Oilers have been a bit more up and down, going 3-2 in their last five, albeit with both losses coming by a single goal. Despite the discrepancy in records, this game promises to be a good one.
The Red Wings have made their living through high-level offensive play. Center Dylan Larkin and left wing Lucas Raymond have been the major cogs of the offense, contributing 33 points apiece. Right winger Patrick Kane remains a threat, although an injury has curbed his statistical production so far. As a team, Detroit ranks inside the top 10 in nearly every major statistical category, including points per game, assists, points, and power play percentage, and it seems that it is all coming together as the Red Wings head to Edmonton.
It is not often that fans get what is essentially a mirror match, but that is the case in this game. The Oilers are also heavily reliant on their offense, residing in the same general area of the offensive rankings as the Red Wings in every category. However, it is clear that Edmonton's top-end talent has the advantage over Detroit's. Center Connor McDavid is arguably the best player in the NHL, responsible for a whopping 44 points this season. Leon Draisaitl, who shares McDavid's position, has added another 38 points, giving the Oilers one of the most dangerous 1-2 punches in hockey. Withstanding that punch on the road is a tough task for everyone, even the streaking Red Wings.

Red Wings vs Oilers Prediction and Pick
The price that the Red Wings are getting on their spread is absolutely absurd. While it will be their second game in a row, the Oilers are dealing with a litany of injuries that should severely impede their play. Take the Red Wings to cover, while a look at their money line could be a good move.
