Edmonton and Vancouver are two top Canadian teams, with the historical advantage of the Oilers at home. Edmonton may face possible issues due to McDavid's injury, who is a key player for the team. Vancouver has suffered two losses in their last three away games. However, Vancouver also has issues with some high-paid players, which may affect their performance. Vancouver will find it difficult to compete against Edmonton on their home ice based on previous results. Therefore, Edmonton is likely to win the game in regular time.
Today Edmonton is hosting Vancouver. Both teams lost their last games in overtime to Arizona. However, the Canucks have the advantage over the Oilers in recent meetings, winning 4 out of the last 5 games. Edmonton plays very confidently at home, losing in regulation for the last time in February. This could be a key factor in the matchup. It's also worth noting that Vancouver shows good scoring in games against Edmonton. Taking all these factors into account, I lean towards today's game being high-scoring. My prediction is over 2.5 total goals in the match.
In the match between the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks, a high scoring game is expected. Both teams play an attacking style of hockey, which is supported by the statistics of their head-to-head meetings. In the 3 games played this season, the average number of goals scored was 8. Additionally, both teams have shown some inconsistency in defense. Considering their offensive potential, it is likely that the total number of goals scored in the match will exceed 5. Therefore, a bet on the total goals over 5 seems reasonable, based on the statistics and playing style of the teams.
