The Edmonton Oilers host the Detroit Red Wings on Monday, October 26, 2026. The Oilers come in strong with an 8-2 record, while the Red Wings are even at 4-4. These records suggest Edmonton has been playing at a higher level so far this season.
Looking at the odds, Edmonton is favored to win. The moneyline has the Oilers at -180, meaning a $180 bet would win $100. Detroit is the underdog at +150, so a $100 bet would win $150 if they pull off the upset.
The spread shows Detroit is +1.5 at -148, and Edmonton is -1.5 at +124. This means Detroit can lose by one goal or win outright for a bet on them to pay off. Betting on Edmonton requires them to win by at least two goals. The odds suggest the market sees a competitive game but leans toward Edmonton winning comfortably.
The total is set at 6.5 goals, with the over at -118 and under at -102. The close prices indicate the sportsbook expects a moderately high-scoring game, but it’s fairly balanced on whether it will go over or under that number.
Overall, Edmonton’s strong record and home advantage make them the favorite. However, the spread offers some protection for bettors who think Detroit can keep it close. The total suggests a decent chance for scoring, but it’s almost a toss-up. Choose your bets based on how much risk you want with the spread or moneyline.
