Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers Prediction

I’m on Edmonton -1.5 here. Fact of the matter is that this is just one of multiple mismatches on Saturday’s NHL card and I think the Canucks are just another victim here. The Oilers have been stronger on the road in fairness this season, but there’s just too much going in Edmonton’s favor in this matchup for me to not side with the Oilers on the puck line here.
