Series: (689) OILERS at (690) CANUCKS
NHL - Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks
Series Thoughts: Taking the series handicap here with the Oilers. The Oilers were the best team after a dreadful start to the season which included a couple opening season losses to these Canucks but after the coaching change they put together some of the best hockey we've seen in a while including a 16 game win streak. They easily dispatched of the LA Kings in the opening round while getting some solid goaltending from Stuart Skinner and that's the key now. If Skinner continues to play this well it negates any goaltending advantage the Canucks might have had heading into the playoffs and the Oilers offensive attack and special teams hold the advantages. Taking the Oilers to win in 6 or fewer.
The play is Edmonton Oilers -1.5 Games -140
