Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks Preview & Picks

Vancouver are tipped to regain the lead in this back-and-forth series.

The Canucks have a great record against Edmonton this season, and they have repeatedly beaten Edmonton as an underdog.

  • Vancouver Canucks are 6-2 against Edmonton this season
  • Vancouver are 6-3 in their last 9 games as a betting underdog against Edmonton
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of the 4 games in this season
  • 8 of the last 11 meetings have produced over 6.5 total goals

Head To Head

  • Vancouver Canucks won the regular season series 4-0
  • This NHL Playoffs series is tied at 2-2
  • Edmonton Oilers won 3-2 when the two teams last met on May 14

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton head back out on the road having once again responded immediately to a loss, tying the series up at 2-2.

The Oilers, who went 49-27-6 in the regular season, eased through the first round of the series as they beat Los Angeles in five games.

They dropped the second game in that series, but came roaring back with 6-1 and 1-0 road wins, and a 4-3 victory at home.

Edmonton’s run was halted by a 5-4 defeat in the first game of this series in Vancouver, but they bounced back straight away with a 4-3 overtime win.

The Oilers failed to back that up as they lost their home opener, 4-3, although once again rebounded immediately as they took the fourth game of the series, 3-2.

Vancouver Canucks Form

Vancouver return home having surrendered the lead for the second time in this playoff series.

The Canucks, who put together a 50-23-9 regular-season record, needed six games to get the better of Nashville in the first round.

They are now facing a lengthy series here too, having twice failed to build on a victory over Edmonton.

Vancouver opened the second-round series with a 5-4 win at home to the Oilers, only to then lose the second meeting 4-3 in overtime.

The Canucks responded with a 4-3 victory in their first road game of the series, but they again failed to string together wins as they were beaten 3-2 in Game 4.

Verdict

Vancouver make for a very appealing underdog in the fifth game of this series.

The Canucks have a tremendous record against Edmonton this season, and they have repeatedly defied the bookies.
