Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks Game 1 Prediction

Edmonton made light work of the Los Angeles Kings in round one.

The Oilers won the series in five games and went a perfect 2-0 on the road in the series.

Edmonton is undoubtedly one of the most talented teams in hockey.

This Oilers team has enjoyed regular season success but has yet to piece together a Stanley Cup run.

The Canucks won their opening series in six games against the Nashville Predators.

In the series, the Canucks lost their starting goalie Thatcher Demko. Demko was one of the best goalies in hockey this season.

The Canucks have never won a Stanley Cup in their franchise history.

They will look to claim their first in franchise history this year.

Connor McDavid has been great in the playoffs, with one goal and 11 assists.

Left Winger Zach Hyman leads the Oilers with seven goals in the postseason.

Leon Draisaitl has scored five goals while dishing out five assists in the playoffs.

Goalie Stuart Skinner is 4-1 with a GA/G of. 259 on the season.

Brock Boeser has four goals and two assists in the playoffs.

JT Miller has added one goal and five assists in the postseason.

Defenseman Quinn Hughes has been great on both sides of the puck. Hughes has five assists in the series.

Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks Game 1 Pick

Vancouver is short-handed, and the absence of Demko will be too much compared to this Oilers offense.

The Canucks struggled to score goals in round one, and if you struggle scoring goals against the Oilers, you will not win games.

This Oilers team is rolling on offense and will keep that going tonight.
