The Canucks held a 3-2 series lead before Game 6 in Edmonton, but were outscored 5-1 behind three assists from McDavid and goals from five different skaters. The action now returns to Vancouver, where the Oilers have won just one game in their last five visits. The winner of Monday’s game will advance to face the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals.

Why you should support the Oilers
Every game in this second-round series was decided by a single goal until Edmonton broke that trend in Game 6. That game highlighted the Oilers’ scoring depth, as McDavid and Leon Draisaitl faced off against the prep guys on what was probably the team’s most Edmonton’s complete effort in these playoffs.
Expect the duo of McDavid and Draisaitl to turn up the energy even further with a Western Conference Finals bid within reach. Vancouver should also keep an eye on Zach Hyman, who leads the playoffs with 10 goals, and Evander Kane, who has scored in each of his last two games. See who to support on SportsLine.
Why you should support the Canucks
The Canucks had just 15 shots on goal in Game 6. That’s unlikely to happen again, especially in front of their fans during Game 7. Vancouver managed to frustrate McDavid and Draisaitl in Games 1 and 5 at Rogers Arena, so Game 7 numbers are much tighter than game 6.
The goalkeeper will also play a big role in this game. Rookie goalkeeper Arturs Silovs hasn’t been the most consistent, but he is expected to bounce back after conceding five goals in the previous match. It doesn’t hurt that Stuart Skinner, Edmonton’s projected start for Game 7, didn’t completely shut down the opposition either. This could end up being another one-goal game between the Canadian rivals. See Wednesday’s NHL picks on SportsLine.
