Edmonton Oilers Betting Analysis
It has been a season of runs for the Edmonton Oilers, and they enter this game on a heater, having won five straight. In those affairs, they’ve scored at least four goals in all of them. That comes on the heels of them losing four of five.
Not only have they been lighting the lamp at will (third best in the NHL), but their prized off-season signing Jack Campbell has finally turned the corner. He was miserable the first three months (.876 save %, 3.90 GAA). However, he’s been between the pipes for each game during their winning streak, sporting a 6-1-0 record this month. His numbers are far better at .916 save % and 2.15 GAA.
Looks like All-Star Jack is back

The over is set at seven goals in this one, which is a rarity. Our model has the game going the visitors way, by a count of 4.45-3.75. The over has hit in the last six Oilers’ road games against a team with a losing home record.
Vancouver Canucks Betting Analysis
There’s no other way to spin it, the Vancouver Canucks are toiling as they fall further and further down the standings. The goal scoring isn’t the issue, as they’re ranked tenth, which is solid. Goal prevention has been a major issue, as only the Ducks give up more goals on average.
Vancouver has given up four or more goals in six of seven, including a 4-1 loss Friday to the Avalanche. They’ve plummeted to the sixth-worst team in hockey. They also haven’t had the services of goaltender Thatcher Demko, as he hasn’t played since December 1st. There are a few factors that provide a glimmer of hope to Van City, as they’re 4-2-1 in the second half of a back-to-back games situation. In addition, they’ve won seven of eight against the Pacific.
Oilers vs Canucks Recent Results
Edmonton has won five of six against their counterparts, with the exception of their latest skirmish. The over is 6-2-4 in the Canucks last twelve games versus teams with winning records.
Oilers vs Canucks Pick
The Oilers have been red hot of late, and they’re going up against a team that is coming apart at the seams. They’re also a far better road team, going 14-7-1, compared to 12-11-2 on home ice. To add juice to the parlay, let’s add an anytime goalscorer wager for Connor McDavid. He has five markers in his last three against the Canucks, and in addition, he has points in 26 of his last 27 outings.
Oilers vs Canucks Same-Game Parlay Picks
