Edmonton at Vancouver

Edmonton lost its first game of the season 5-3 against Philadelphia on Wednesday, but the Oilers look to bounce back tonight as they are 9-2 their last 11 road games dating to last season and they have won seven of the last 10 meetings with Vancouver, including a 3-2 shootout victory on Oct. 13. The Canucks opened their season with six games on the road and then lost their first two home contests against Minnesota and Philadelphia. Mike Smith is day-to-day for the Oilers, but if he doesn't go Mikko Koskinen will be in net with a 3-1-0 record and 2.62 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. Edmonton is 13-4 its last 17 games as a road favorite and 20-7 after giving up at least five goals its previous game. Vancouver has lost 16 of its past 23 games. Take the Oilers.
