Weekly NHL Betting action sees the Vancouver Canucks<\/strong> taking on the Edmonton Oilers<\/strong> on October 15 at Consol Rexall Place. Cappers Picks provides free NHL handicapping tips all season long.<\/p>\n The Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers will lock horns for the second time this season Friday night – this time in Edmonton.<\/p>\n Vancouver<\/a> (1-1-0-1) at Edmonton<\/a> (2-0-0-0)<\/strong> Click here to view today’s… NHL Matchup Angles<\/a> | NHL Insider Gambling Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n While Vancouver has looked good so far in winning both of their games including one in a shootout to the Oilers, Edmonton has been nothing short of miserable – four games with ZERO wins.<\/p>\n Vancouver hasn’t played since their shootout victory against the Oilers while Edmonton has played twice since Saturday – losing both games in miserable fashion.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=64160&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Is it time for the Oilers to get off the deck? Or will Vancouver keep the early-season momentum going? Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n The Vancouver Canucks return to the ice on Friday night feeling pretty good about themselves. The team has scored eight goals in the young season and has yet to be beaten. They have fired 76 pucks at their opposing goaltender, the Sedins each have four points on the season and the power play is clicking along at 30% so far.<\/p>\n Translation – things are going well for Vancouver early in the season.<\/p>\n Goaltending hasn’t quite stolen the show yet for Vancouver but Ryan Miller has been OK. Miller has a 2.88 GAA in the two games with an unflattering .889 GAA. It is unclear as to who will be between the pipes for the Canucks Friday – Miller or Eddie Lack but you\u2019d have to figure Miller will get another start after the Canucks week off.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=16&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The Oilers are struggling – that’s putting it mildly! Through their first four games (all losses), they have averaged a whopping 5.50 goals against – absolutely horrendous numbers so far.<\/p>\n Their penalty kill is 68.8 % so far and only two players have more than one goal in the four games this year. Simply put the Oilers are not getting it done in either end of the rink.<\/p>\n Taylor Hall continues to lead the way – he had two goals and an assist in Edmonton’s 7-4 loss to the Arizona Coyotes Wednesday but he has just one point in the previous three games.<\/p>\n Jordan Eberle had two assists Wednesday – his only points so far (although he missed Edmonton’s third game) and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is in danger of missing his third straight game with injury Friday night.<\/p>\n The Big Three will absolutely have to play up to their potential night in and night out \u2013 Edmonton just doesn\u2019t seem to have the talent or depth to be taken all that seriously.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=64161&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n It is clear that Edmonton will HAVE to score to stay in games this year they are averaging 2.75 goals so far \u2013 OK except for the fact that the defense is giving up 5 1\/2. Goaltender Viktor Fasth is on injured reserve and Ben Scrivens is 0-2-0 with a 5.22 GAA and .800 save percentage. Ugh!<\/p>\n NHL Gambling Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Over is 7-2 in VAN last 9 games following a win. It is impossible to like the Edmonton Oilers heading into their fifth game of the season – impossible. Nothing has gone right for this team so far – and there seems to be little reason for any sort of optimism.<\/p>\n The Canucks can thank Edmonton for their hot start – after Friday, 2 of their 3 wins will have come against the struggling club.<\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks -135<\/strong><\/p>\n CappersPicks.com NHL Betting<\/a> and gambling site provides the BEST Online hockey predictions<\/a> for you to bet on for the NHL hockey season!
