Command Analysis

Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver demonstrate terrible performance in the preseason. The Canucks are on a five-game losing streak; the team was devastated in almost all of the games. Vancouver put up a fight against Calgary and Seattle, but in both cases yielded in overtime (2:3 OT and 3:4 OT, respectively). In the reverse fixtures, however, the Canucks couldn't find the back of the net. In the previous game against the Oilers, Vancouver lost (2:7).

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton started their preseason with a clean-sheet victory over Winnipeg (4:0). They couldn't build on that success and lost to Seattle (0:3) and Calgary (0:4) in the following two games. They managed to take revenge on the Flames and defeated them (2:1) in the reverse fixture. In the last two outings, the Oilers prevailed over Winnipeg (3:2 SO) and crushed Vancouver (7:2).

Tip and bets
Vancouver are struggling to find their form. The Canucks might improve in the regular season, but right now we do not expect much from the team. Edmonton, on the other hand, seem to have recovered from their defeats to Seattle and Calgary and demostrated excellent performance in the last outing. We believe, the Oilers have a better chance of winning tonight.
Our prediction - Edmonton to win
The teams rarely score a lot in head-to-head games, and the previous match was more of an exception from the rule. Vancouver looked poor on offense so far, and Edmonton scored more than two goals only in two preseason games. Take the under.
Second prediction - total under 6.5 goals
