Oilers vs Canucks Game 5 Picks & Odds

With the series tied up at 2 games each, we now have a 3-game series between the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks. Edmonton won Game 4 at home by a score of 3-2.

These 2 teams have traded each game back and forth for the win. The Oilers will look to break that trend and get back-to-back wins. On a side note, for betting purposes, the 1st 3 games all went over for total goals. Something to keep in mind.

Edmonton poured it on in Game 4 with 30 shots. They got out to a 2-goal lead that they eventually gave up but got a goal in the last minute of the 3rd period for the win.

Goalie Calvin Pickard played a solid game for the Oilers. He had 19 saves on 21 shots. The Edmonton defense did their job and protected their goalie from getting peppered. Pickard is expected in net tonight.

Can the Canucks defend home ice and win Game 5?

Vancouvers Brock Boeser shoots after getting by Edmonton defender Cory Ceci.

Despite losing the last game, the Canucks have played well this series. It has been a hard fought one so far, but they took a game in Edmonton after giving one away at home.

Losing Thatcher Demko was a huge blow to the Canucks and most people counted them out. They’re definitely hanging in and competing.

Goalie Arturs Silovs has been the starter for this series and is expected in net again tonight. He was 3-0-1 in the regular season is 4-2-1 in the playoffs so far.

Look for the Canucks to use the home crowd to their advantage. They should come out hot and try to score earlier, but the Oilers very well may just do the same thing.

Let’s get into the odds and the picks.

Tying this series back up was huge for the Oilers. They were buzzing in the beginning of the last game and went flat. They have to correct that this game and I think they will.

Vancouver is going to be out to protect that home ice. This game could be the decider of who wins the series because teams that go up 3-2 in a series win the series 79% of the time.

Like I mentioned before, 3 out of 4 of the game went over and I like this one to as well. Both teams are going to come out screaming again and are powerhouse offenses. No Skinner and Demko are huge difference makers.

The side that I lean is the Oilers for a nugget. They want to get this win and go back home to close the series out. The moneyline is too juiced for me, but I like them to win.
