Coyotes vs Oilers Prediction
This game pits a high-powered Edmonton Oilers team, albeit with key injuries, against a surging Utah Mammoth squad that has found recent success. The Oilers' star power, particularly Connor McDavid, will be a significant factor, while the Mammoth will rely on their recent momentum and home-ice advantage. It is anticipated to be a competitive game with the Oilers ultimately prevailing.
ATS PREDICTION
Oilers Win
Predicted: 3-2
โก70%
The Edmonton Oilers, despite facing significant injuries including Leon Draisaitl being out for the season and Zach Hyman missing this game, possess a formidable offense led by Connor McDavid, who recently recorded a hat trick. Their recent form shows a strong push, winning seven of their last ten games and leading the Pacific Division as of April 8, 2026. The Utah Mammoth (formerly Arizona Coyotes) have been playing well recently, with a three-game winning streak and key players like Clayton Keller performing strongly. However, the sustained offensive firepower and experience of the Oilers, even with injuries, give them an edge against a resilient Mammoth squad, especially with McDavid in peak form.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Oilers -1.5 (-1.5)
60%
While the Mammoth have shown good form, the Oilers, even with injuries to Draisaitl and Hyman, still have enough offensive talent, primarily McDavid, to win by more than one goal. Their position atop the Pacific Division reflects their overall strength, and they're accustomed to winning games comfortably when their star players are performing. The Mammoth's recent wins have been close, suggesting they might struggle to keep the margin tight against an elite offensive team.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 6.5
65%
The absence of Draisaitl and Hyman for the Oilers is expected to slightly temper their overall scoring output, even with McDavid's brilliance. The Mammoth, despite their recent offensive surge, have also demonstrated solid goaltending in recent outings, as seen in their 7-4 victory over Vancouver where their goalie made 19 saves. This game is likely to be a tighter affair with both teams potentially focusing on defensive structures, leading to a total below 6.5 goals.
