Oilers vs Canucks Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Canucks to defeat the Oilers while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -105, I’m placing a wager on the Canucks to win outright.

Our projections have the Canucks pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Canucks, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
