NHL Playoffs Odds: Oilers-Flames Game 2 prediction, odds and pick

Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames are playing a second-round series. Calgary won the first game 9-6. The game will be played at the Scotiabank Saddledome.   Edmonton won't be able to win the game. It's time to continue our NHL odds coverage with an Oilers-Flames prediction and pick.

Edmonton lost the first game of the NHL playoffs against Calgary. The Oilers won 53 percent of faceoffs and they had plenty of chances to score. They also had a lot of opportunities on the power play, but they didn't score on any of them. McDavid and Draisaitl had goals and assists, while Hyman, Yamamoto, and Nugent-Hopkins had three goals each.

The Flames blew a 6-2 lead in Game 1. They need to play better defense and contain McDavid and Draisaitl. Jacob Markstrom needs to bounce back from his poor performance in the previous game. The Flames are looking for a commanding 2-0 series lead.

The Oilers are 2-2 on the road in these playoffs and have not lost two road games in a row. They lost three games at the Scotiabank Saddledome this season. Edmonton does not want to go down 0-1, so expect them to build more energy and firepower.
