The Edmonton Oilers are looking to get back on track when they face the Vancouver Canucks in an all-Canadian matchup on Saturday at Rogers Arena.
Edmonton has lost two games in a row and was shut out for just the second time this season in Thursday’s 1-0 loss to the New York Islanders. That game also ended Connor McDavid’s career-best 20-game point streak.
Over the past six weeks, the Oilers captain has been outstanding, scoring 19 goals and adding 27 assists during his 20-game streak. With McDavid in red-hot form, the Oilers are averaging 3.31 goals per game, the fifth-highest in the league. However, their defense has struggled again this season, allowing 3.23 goals per game.
Vancouver has the second-worst defensive record in the league, giving up 3.60 goals a night. The team was still competitive through the first couple of months, but injuries have taken a toll. Since the holiday break, the Canucks have lost 10 of 11 games.
While Edmonton has compensated for its defensive shortcomings with a sharp attack, the Canucks have been equally poor up front and on defense. Adam Foote’s side has posted only 2.60 goals per game, the fifth-fewest in the NHL.

Our Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The Canucks have been reeling since Christmas, but a significant portion of their games have still been low-scoring affairs. Of Vancouver’s past five games, only Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens saw more than six goals scored in total. Montreal shocked the Canucks with a three-goal third period.
Edmonton has a highly talented frontline but couldn’t generate any offense in the last game. The team leans heavily on McDavid’s line and its power play. Vancouver has done a decent job against McDavid this season, limiting him to two assists in two games. Despite firing six shots on the net, he hasn’t scored in the matchup.
Our prediction for Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers: Under 6.5 goals.
