In this Canucks vs Oilers Prediction, the Oilers are coming as -170 home favorites. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their opening games of the season, but it is hard to fade the Oilers at home, even if it is early in the season. Even in a loss, the Oilers showed their lethal power play in action, making 50% of their power plays, and they have been dominating the Canucks at home in recent years. Their last two home wins against Vancouver have been with a combined 11-3 score, and I expect them to get the job done tonight. Take the Edmonton Oilers on the moneyline in this one.
