Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks will kickstart their NHL regular season campaign on Tuesday night at Rogers Place. The Oilers will come into the new campaign with a more experienced roster after adding veterans such as Brendan Gallagher and Jamie Oleksiak. They’ll also want to improve their second position in the Pacific Division last season, having gone 41-30-11 overall. Books are backing them to start the season strongly as the -304 betting favorites tonight.
Vancouver Canucks, on the other side of the ice, are the +235 betting underdogs tonight. That’s an understandable price, considering they finished last season with an overall record of 25-49-8. Like the hosts, the visitors tried to bolster their roster, bringing back Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren, and Zeeve Buium. Vancouver will also want to concede fewer goals this season after allowing 314 in the 2025-26 campaign, the league's highest total. They’ll be desperate to show some improvement.

Our Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
Edmonton Oilers are the clear favorites tonight. They enter the new campaign as one of the Stanley Cup contenders, whereas Vancouver has low expectations after a poor showing last season. Connor McDavid gives them a clear edge in this contest after finishing last season with a league-high of 138 points while scoring 48 goals. The head-to-head record also tells a story, with the Oilers winning four of their last five meetings with the Canucks. They also won their last six home matches against the Canucks. We think they’ll win again tonight and cover the -1.5 handicap.
Our prediction for Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks: Edmonton Oilers to win in regular time.
