Vancouver at Edmonton

Edmonton is looking forward to the playoffs while the Canucks are playing 19 games in 31 days to make up for the ones that were missed earlier in the season due to COVID issues. The probable goalies in today's game are Thatcher Demko, who is 14-18-1 with a 2.93 goals-against average and Mikko Koskinen (13-12-0; 3.14). The last two meetings went OVER and Edmonton has gone OVER its past four games, including two games against Montreal this week that were 4-3 wins in overtimes. The past five meetings at Edmonton have gone OVER and the Oilers are 5-2 OVER their past seven versus an opponent that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. Take the OVER.
Vancouver is playing with nothing to lose and attempting to go out on a good note after a nightmare season. Edmonton will likely rest some key players as it prepares for the playoffs and this game is nearly meaningless in the standings.  The Oilers likely will rest some key players and Mikko Koskinen was the loser in Vancouver's 6-3 win over the Oilers on May 6. Play the Canucks on the puck line.
