Oilers vs. Canucks has all the elements of an exciting Game 7.
Neither team has won back-to-back games, as both Canadian clubs are vying for the final spot in the Western Conference Finals. The Canucks haven’t reached that point since they lost in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2011.
The Oilers, on the other hand, reached the Western Conference Finals in 2022. Connor McDavid, who’s arguably the best NHL player in today’s game, is paired with Leon Draisaitl making for one of the league’s most potent offensive duos.
And since it’s Game 7, the atmosphere will only be intensified even further.
Vancouver hosts the deciding game on Monday, May 20 at 9 p.m. ET , and if the trend of no back-to-back winners continues, the Canucks will win on their home ice.
The Canucks have two excellent centers in J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson with Quinn Hughes leading the defensive unit. It’s a young team with many of the key players, including Pettersson and Hughes in their mid-20s. However, winger Brock Boeser will miss the game because of blood clots , dealing a blow to Vancouver’s top line.
Playoffs typically favor the experienced, but Vancouver can still carve its way through a more battle-tested Edmonton club.
