Edmonton Oilers vs Philadelphia Flyers NHL Betting Pick 2/9/23

An interesting battle is set for Thursday night when the Edmonton Oilers (62 points) visit the Philadelphia Flyers (51 points). Edmonton is fourth in the Pacific division but are just two points out of first place. Philadelphia is sitting in no man’s land right now as they are not going to make the playoffs and will not have great lottery odds for the draft. Below is my NHL betting pick for Oilers vs Flyers.
