Edmonton has a great opportunity to snap a two-game skid as it heads to Vancouver to play the Canucks, who have lost nine in a row while averaging just 1.9 goals per game. Also, the Canucks just concluded a 0-6 road trip in a 10-day span. Vancouver is #28 in the NHL scoring, averaging 2.60 goals, and #31 in goals against, allowing 3.60. The Canucks are 0-4 with one day of rest, 0-4 against teams with losing records, and 0-4 following a loss by at least 3 goals. The Oilers have won six of seven after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Tristan Jarry has won three of four starts since being acquired from Pittsburgh, and he is 12-3-2 with a 2.80 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage this season. Kevin Lankinen is 6-13-4 with a 3.36 GAA for Vancouver, and he is the expected starter. Take the Oilers.
