The young Edmonton Oilers finally got a win the last game, but they can start a new skid here. This is the fifth road game in six contests for Edmonton, a brutal opening schedule. The Oilers are 27th in goals scored, 23rd in goals allowed, and 24th on the power play. Edmonton is on a 19-53 run, including 12-39 on the road and 10-45 overall against the Western Conference. Talented Vancouver is 3-0 on the road and continues its five-game homestand at the Rogers Centre. Vancouver is fifth in the NHL in goals allowed and eighth in penalty killing. The Canucks are 56-26 at home against a team with a road winning of less than .400, as well as 21-8 versus a team with a winning percentage below .400. Vancouver swept the five-game season series in 2014-15, and the Oilers are 17-35 in the last 52 meetings, including 7-20 at Vancouver. Play Vancouver.
