GAME THREAD: Edmonton Oilers @ Vancouver Canucks

Divisional rivals clash in pre-holiday matchup

NHL: Vancouver Canucks at Vegas Golden Knights Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports

Edmonton Oilers (20-15-4) 3rd, Pacific vs

Vancouver Canucks (18-15-4) 5th, Pacific

23 December 2019

Rogers Arena

800 PM MST

TV: Sportsnet West

Radio: 630 CHED

SB Nation Opponent: Nucks Misconduct

Lines are the same versus the Canucks tonight as they were against the Canadiens.

THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

  • A GOOD SECONDARY: Oh, did you see the two goals scored by the bottom six in Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Habs? More of those. Get Russell involved, it’ll be great. Either one.
  • THEIR LINE: Vancouver’s got one really good line. It’s the Elias Pettersson - Brock Boeser - J.T. Miller line. This is the heavy lifting line for the Canucks. Stop this line, and you’ve got a good shot at taking two points.
  • OUR LINE: Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl currently combine for 121 points. Let the good times roll.

Big divisional matchup. Let’s go.
