Oilers Attack Not the Same After Season High
After scoring a season-high six goals in a win, the Oilers' attack was not the same in their last game in a 3-2 road loss to the Seattle Kraken. Edmonton lost despite 10 more shots; Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse each scored, and Leon Draisaitl had two assists. Stuart Skinner (2-3-1 2.17 GAA) gave up three goals for the third time in his last four starts. With the Oilers playing last night, there is a good chance Calvin Pickard (2-1-0 .3.37 GAA) will get the start to face the Canucks and he has given up a total of nine goals in his last two starts. However, in his first start of the season, he only gave up one goal in a win over the Canucks.
Saying Edmonton is balanced is an understatement, as they are averaging 3.00 goals a game and giving up an average of 3.00 goals per game. Connor McDavid leads the club with 11 points (1 goal 10 assists) and did not register a point in the last game after a goal and five assists in his previous four games. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Draisaitl are tied for the team lead with five goals and in the last five games, Nugent-Hopkins has three goals and three assists, and Draisaitl has two goals and three assists. On the season, the Oilers are 2-4-0 on the road.

Three Up and Three Down for Canucks
The Canucks have lost three in a row following a three-game win streak. In their last game, they were at home in a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, where they had more shots (31-24), Elias Pettersson had a goal and two assists, and Jake DeBrusk and Conor Garland also lit the lamp. Kevin Lankinen (1-3-0 3.60) gave up four goals on 24 shots and has given up a total of nine goals in his last two starts. Thatcher Demko (3-2-0 2.24 GAA) may get the start in this game, and he gave up two goals in his last start after giving up three in each of his previous two starts.
On the season, the Canucks are averaging 2.63 goals per game and giving up an average of 3.00 goals per game. Garland leads the team with nine points (3 goals, 6 assists) and has two goals and four assists in the last five games. Kiefer Sherwood leads the club with four goals but does not have one in the last three games and has yet to have an assist. DeBrusk led the team with 28 goals last season, and both of his goals this season have come in the last five games. Vancouver is 1-2 at home.
Oilers vs. Canucks Pick
Money Line pick for Oilers vs. Canucks
- Pick: Canucks +125 (4 units)
The Oilers had won two in a row before a loss in their last game, and the Canucks had won three in a row before losing their last three games. Edmonton’s attack has not been the same as the solid one they had last season and while they scored six goals in the game before the last one, they have not scored more than three goals in any of the other games. The Canucks attack has been up and down this season, and in their three-game skid, they have given up 11 goals. Regarding the Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks prediction, taking the gold rule of gambling and not taking the road team in the second game of a road back-to-back, as the Canucks will get to likely starter Pickard, who has struggled in his last two starts, and get the win on home ice.
Over/Under Pick for Oilers vs. Canucks
- Under 6 goals (4 units)
The total went Under when these teams met earlier this season, and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. The Oilers only scored two goals in their last gam,e and the Canucks have only totaled five goals in their three-game losing streak. Neither team has been great on the attack this season, as the Oilers are averaging 3.00 goals per game and the Canucks are only averaging 2.63 goals per game. Edmonton has scored over three goals in only one game this season. Vancouver will likely get to starter Pickard, who struggled in his last two starts, but they will not score many goals. The same goes for the Oilers, and this game will be much like the first meeting, so the Under is the pick.
