Edmonton vs Vancouver: prediction for the NHL fixture

The Edmonton Oilers did not make any major transfers during the offseason and retained the core of their team. The Oilers have been playing really well in recent years, but they have never used their full potential. McDavid and Draisaitl do a lot of work in attack and are the top scorers for Edmonton.

There are problems in the Oilers' defensive line, which is an easy target for most of their opponents in the NHL. Even in the last four preseason games, Edmonton conceded no less than two goals per game (however, the Oilers won all these games).

The Vancouver Canucks didn't have a good preseason. Travis Green's charges scored more than two goals in only one game out of seven, which shows that the Canucks were unable to solve their performance problems in the offseason.

The Canucks lost their last three preseason games to Seattle (0:4) and Edmonton (2:3 B and 2:3). Vancouver made several changes in their roster, but they are yet to pay off.
