Oilers vs Canucks NHL Key Stats

The Oilers have one of the best offenses in the league, having scored over 174 goals scored this season. Connor McDavid has an astonishing contribution of 39 goals and 47 assists on the team. He will play a critical role in the upcoming game too.

Their defense has been poor, having conceded 3.26 goals per game on average this season and goaltenders have not made enough saves, thus hampering the team's structure.

The Nucks have scored around 150 goals in 45 games this season, with major contributions coming from the duo of Bo Horvat and Elias Pettersson.

Their defense has not done enough and this is one of the reasons for their poor run. They have conceded 3.9 goals per game, which is a bit too much, given the competition in the league.

Oilers vs Canucks NHL Betting Prediction

The game is very much in the command of the Oilers, given the way they have performed in their last few games. With their offense scoring goals at will, they are likely to exploit the Canucks' defense and score a good number of goals. This indicates a fairly easy contest for the Oilers and we should expect them to win by a good margin of goals.

Prediction : Oilers, -1.5(+200)
