Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver away series ended in failure. Despite the fact that the team showed decent play and created dangerous moments in the first two games, it was not enough to win. In the match with Montreal, the Canucks lost in overtime with a score of 4:5, and in the game with Washington - also in overtime with a score of 1:2. After these failures, the killer whales went to visit Carolina, where their attacking potential was almost completely suppressed. Over three periods, the team made only 14 shots on the opponent goal and ultimately lost with a score of 0:2. This defeat was a serious blow to the team, which is already in a protracted crisis.
However, Vancouver managed to break the losing streak in the match with Toronto. Despite the fact that the team again faced problems in the attack, it was able to crush the opponent dry (3:0). The key role in this victory was played by accurate shots and confident play of goalkeeper Lankinen, who saved the team from conceding goals several times. After a successful match with Toronto, the team went to visit Winnipeg, where another rout awaited them. This time the team lost by five goals - 1:6. The defensive line was unable to cope with the powerful attacking potential of the opponent, and goalkeeper Lankinen showed his worst side, reflecting only 81% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the club also could not impose a decent fight on Los Angeles, suffering another rout (1:5). This time, Demko defended the goal, but he was also unable to cope with his main task. Indeed, the decline of Tocchet charges has already been very prolonged. One of the reasons for the poor performances can be called conflicts between players within the team, which is what journalists are talking about, and this is not refuted by the coaching staff.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vancouver has no problems with its roster, with only Juulsen currently in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vancouver converted 24% of its power play attempts.
The team often takes advantage of opponents' deletions.
- On average, killer whales make 26 strikes per match.
The Canucks' forwards have been underperforming this season, which has left the team unable to compensate for their defensive woes.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton continues to show excellent results, and the winning streak has already reached four games in a row, and it began away to Chicago. The Oilers allowed the obvious underdog to take a significant advantage in the first period, but in the third period they not only tied the score, but also took the lead, and ultimately snatched victory in regulation time with a score of 4:3. Draisaitl and Podkolzin were the most productive, scoring two points each. Returning to the home arena, the Oilers met a much more powerful opponent in the person of Los Angeles and did not allow them to even score, winning dry (1:0). The defensive line allowed the opponent to create many dangerous moments in their zone, but goalie Skinner showed himself once again, reflecting 30 shots, thereby making a shutout.
The club then went on another away trip, where they met Minnesota and achieved another success (5:3) thanks to their excellent attacking performance. The team best forward McDavid made a huge contribution to the victory, scoring twice and giving an assist. On the road against Colorado, the Oilers once again created huge problems for themselves at the beginning of the match, conceding three goals. The team did not give up, but on the contrary, picked up the pace, which allowed them to make a comeback and achieve a strong-willed victory with a score of 4:3. McDavid distinguished himself again, scoring two goals. It is worth noting that the start of the season for Edmonton was quite difficult, and the team could not strengthen its position in the playoff zone for a long time. During the regular championship, Knoblach team gained excellent form and is currently in second place in the Western Conference table, with 61 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Edmonton only has two players left in the infirmary: Kane and Klingberg.
Interesting trends for betting
- Edmonton averages 3.3 goals per game
The Oilers have a great offensive game and consistently take advantage of their opponents' defensive lapses.
- On average, the oilmen receive 6.5 penalty minutes per match.
It is also worth noting the excellent discipline of the club.

As expected, bookmakers are highlighting Edmonton as the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are many reasons. Firstly, the Oilers have gained excellent form and have not lost in four matches, and often confidently deal with their opponents. Secondly, Vancouver continues to be in terrible shape. It is difficult to say when the killer whales will recover and start earning points again, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. We believe that the visitors will be able to easily take advantage of the Canucks' slump and win confidently.
Our prediction is Edmonton win at 1.98
