Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
Both teams on the end of a back to back, I have to side with the better team, and that’s the Oilers. The Canucks just can’t get out of the mud offensively, and that’s not ideal when going up against a team like the Oilers. The Oilers have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Canucks. Most of those games haven’t been close. I trust the Oilers to find easier offense, and their defense is first in shots against. Of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
