T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks.

I like the Vancouver Canucks to beat the Edmonton Oilers in this game on Saturday. The Canucks have lost 2 games in a row now on home ice and I expect them to come to play in this game. They are 2 games into a 7 game home run and they have no points in either of those games. They will play the Oilers tough in this game as their is a bit of a rivalry due to how close these cities are. The Oilers started their season winning 5 games in a row but finally received their first loss to the Flyers on Wednesday night and they were on home ice for that game. I expect them to hit a bit of a slump now after such a strong start so I expect them to extend their losing streak to 2 games here. They haven't played since Wednesday which could be a good thing with the rest but it can also be bad for a lot of these hockey teams who will get soar after a day from the physicality of the sport and might not want to bring that same intensity into the next game coming off of an extended rest. I expect that to happen to the Oilers here as the Canucks catch them in a good spot. I like the Canucks to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks.
