Oilersnation Pre Game Podcast – Game 52 vs Vancouver
May 6, 2021, 15:00 EDTUpdated: May 6, 2021, 15:18 EDT
The Oilers will be gunning for their fourth straight win tonight as they continue their series against the Vancouver Canucks. They will be back on home ice tonight for this one as well, where they have a record 15-10-0. The Canucks are struggling right now. Not only have they lost the first two games of this four-game set against Edmonton, but they’ve now lost six consecutive games. With a win tonight, the Oilers will also clinch second place in the North Division and home-ice advantage in round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Also, Connor McDavid will be looking to take another towards a 100-point season. He currently sits just seven points away from the McCentury mark.
I go through some potential lineup changes, talk about some betting lines, and give my keys to the game for tonight’s game! Get it all in the Pre-Game Podcast (brought to you by YEG Burger & Nation Beer)! You can download it right here in the article or by heading to Apple Podcasts or Spotify! Enjoy the game!
