THE RUB
The Oilers must improve to keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive as they host the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
Trailing 3-2 in the Western semifinal series, Edmonton needs to rebound from a sub-par performance in Thursday’s 3-2 loss. The Oilers twice surrendered leads before J.T. Miller’s final-minute winning goal. Edmonton controlled the first period but failed on five power-play chances, allowing Vancouver to take over in the second period.
Leon Draisaitl, with points in all 10 playoff games, emphasized the need to create their own momentum. Historically, teams winning Game 5 in a tied series have a 231-61 series record. No team has won consecutive games in this series, and Vancouver aims to avoid a Game 7.
Elias Pettersson and Nils Hoglander responded to recent criticism with strong performances, while Carson Soucy and Phil Di Giuseppe, returning to the lineup, each scored a goal.
PLAYER TRENDS
- Connor McDavid has scored in each of the Oilers’ last 5 playoff games facing elimination.
- J.T. Miller has 1+ assists in 4 of the Canucks’ last 5 road games vs. Pacific Division.
- Evan Bouchard has 1+ assists in 5 of the Oilers’ last 6 home games vs. Western Conference.
- Leon Draisaitl has scored in 4 of the Oilers’ last 5 home games.
- Dakota Joshua has scored in 3 of the Canucks’ last 4 road games vs. Pacific Division.
- Elias Lindholm has scored in 2 of his last 3 road playoff games vs. Oilers.
PICK – VANCOUVER +1.5
