Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers betting picks and predictions

Oilers ML (-140)

Edmonton Oilers ML (-120)

Edmonton has been surging of late. Before an overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes in their most recent game, Edmonton went on a three-game winning streak in which they took down incredibly strong teams like the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights.

Enter the Canucks, who are one of Edmonton’s Canadian rivals, and the Oilers should be fully ready to play.

The Canucks have shown some inconsistencies recently, with a 2-2-1 record in their past five games, and the momentum looks to be in favor of the Oilers, particularly on home ice.

Over 6.0 (-115)

The offensive talent hitting the ice for this game is some of the best in the entire league. Even without Connor McDavid, the Oilers have Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman, who are elite threats. Over in Vancouver, Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser are strong weapons as well.

This star talent is set to generate a ton of offesne and both teams can find the back of the net. It is no surprise these teams are both within the top seven in goals per game so expect a large amount of goals.

Edmonton Oilers 1st period money line (-115)

This is a game that the Oilers will be excited for. Their home crowd will be rocking as Edmonton looks to earn yet another big win before the playoffs begin.

This early energy should result in the Oilers desperate to get one or two behind Vancouver, starting the game on with a first period win.
