2024-25 season series: Ducks won 3-1
The Ducks are quacking loudly with 7 straight wins following their 4-3 OT win at the Calgary Flames as -113 favorites on Sunday. RW Beckett Sennecke had a hat trick to give him 18 goals on the season as the Over 6 hit. They’re on this run without one of their best players in C Leo Carlsson, who is out with a lower-body injury.
The Oilers snapped a 2-game skid with a 6-5 OT home win (-172) against the Washington Capitals on Saturday, crushing the Over 6.5. C Connor McDavid had 2 goals, including the game-winner, to give him 32 on the season. He has 8 goals and 12 assists in 12 games this month. With 90 points in 53 games, he’s on pace for his highest output since the 22-23 season when set career highs with 64 goals and 153 points.

Ville Husso (6-4-1, 3.08 GAA, .888 SV%) vs. Tristan Jarry (14-5-2, 2.82 GAA, .900 SV%, 2 SO)
Husso won his last start 2-1 in overtime last Saturday against the LA Kings. He stopped 17 of 18 shots fired his way. He hasn’t faced the Oilers since Feb. 13, 2024, when he stopped 6 of 7 before leaving the game due to injury in an 8-4 loss as a member of the Detroit Red Wings.
Jarry came on in relief Saturday and stopped 13 of 15 in the overtime win over the Caps. He is 5-2-1 with a 3.12 GAA and .880 SV% in 8 games since being traded from the Pittsburgh Penguins. While with the Pens, he lost 4-3 to the Ducks on Oct. 14, stopping 18 of 22.
Ducks at Oilers picks and predictionsPrediction
Oilers 4, Ducks 2
There’s no play here. The Ducks are on a back-to-back, with their backup goalie, and the Oilers are massive home favorites.
Instead, let’s take JAKE WALMAN OVER 1.5 SHOTS (-135). The Edmonton defenseman has 2+ SOG in each of his 7 games this month.
I’ll go with OILERS -1.5 (-115). Husso hasn’t had a .900 SV% for a full season since 2021-22 with the St. Louis Blues, and the Oilers should make child’s play of him.
It’s rare we see a total set at 7. Each team is 5-5 O/U in its last 10, and both are capable of putting up a 5-spot. Anaheim has 4+ goals in 3 of 4 while Edmonton has done it in 3 of 5. We’re projecting an Under hit here, but it really can go either way.
PASS.
