Last place Edmonton averages just 2.6 goals per game (No. 18 in the league) and faces a Vancouver defense that is dominant, No. 6 in goals allowed and No. 6 in penalty killing. Edmonton has been in cruise control on offense down the stretch, losing four of five games while scoring a total of 6 goals over the last five games, and only 4 in the four defeats. They are on a 12-3-1 run UNDER the total and the UNDER is 38-17-2 in the Oilers’ last 57 vs. a team with a winning record. Vancouver will play its best defense, as with the St. Louis Blues losing 4-1 in regulation to the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday night, the door is again open for the Canucks to claim first place in the Western Conference. The Canucks need only to collect one point in their regular-season finale tonight against the Edmonton Oilers. The UNDER is 9-4-1 in the Canucks’ last 14 games as a favorite of -201 or greater. Play the UNDER.
