Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers: TV, Radio, Lineups, Injury Report, Predictions
The Vancouver Canucks are already playing as bad as last year. Can they turn it around soon enough?
We never expected the road to the playoffs to be an easy one for the Vancouver Canucks. Most of us never even expected them to be in the race. After a 4-0-0 start into the season, however, there was hope. At least until the Canucks shattered it with three straight losses, one of which was a 3-0 against the Ottawa Senators.
Tonight’s match-up against the Edmonton Oilers will be especially important. The Oilers currently have the lead in the Pacific Division, and with a full season of Connor McDavid, they are more than a decent team. If the Canucks want to turn things around, now is the time.
Here is all the important info you need.

At the start of the week, only one of our writers predicted the Canucks to win. Let’s hope we have seen the worst of this team already — it can only get better than the last three games, right?
