The highly anticipated Game 7 between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks will take place on Monday night, with both teams vying for a spot in the Western Conference final. The Oilers secured a decisive 5-1 victory in Edmonton on Saturday, tying the series at 3-3.
The Oilers will enter the game with a slight advantage, having outscored the Canucks 21-18 and outshot them 174-132. However, the Canucks will be missing forward Brock Boeser, who has been a key contributor with seven goals and five assists in 12 playoff games.
Edmonton’s offensive prowess is led by Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid, and Evan Bouchard, who rank first, second, and third in the playoff scoring race. The Canucks will need to effectively shut down these top scorers and hope that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Zach Hyman can’t pick up the slack.
All the games in Vancouver have been decided by one goal, indicating the intense and competitive nature of this series. The puck drops for the series-deciding game in Vancouver just after 7 p.m. MT, and the winner will face the Dallas Stars in the next round.
