The Vancouver Canucks (57-27-10 SU, 51-43 ATS) face off with the Edmonton Oilers (56-30-7 SU, 41-52 ATS) in Game 7 after failing to stick with Edmonton for the first time all season. Vancouver has not trailed in the series and had won seven of nine meetings in 2023-24 before fading in Game 6 and sending the series back to British Columbia.
For just the second time in the series, a team actually held the lead after scoring the first goal. More importantly for the Oilers, they spread their scoring out much better in Game 6 than they had in previous games. Connor McDavid notched three assists and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins registered a goal and two assists in forcing Game 7. More importantly for Edmonton, the Oilers were better at 5-on-5 hockey for the first time in the series.

Our Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
The Canucks have been the better team for most of this series, but the challenge is seeing it through against a veteran and desperate Oilers squad. This might be Edmonton’s last and best chance with this core group to make a run to the finals, and a loss to the Canucks would be devastating to the franchise.
Vancouver’s biggest concern is how timidly it played in Game 6. The Canucks only got 15 pucks to the net and didn’t match the Oilers’ level of desperation. Now they’ve got no choice, as their margin for error is gone. But there’s one big reason for optimism: Edmonton is zero-for-eight on the power play in the past two games. If Vancouver can regain its advantage in five-on-five situations, it should win this game. The value is on the home underdog; our prediction for Edmonton vs. Vancouver is for the Canucks to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
