In the first game of the second round of the Stanley Cup series, a match between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers is scheduled. The encounter will take place overnight into Thursday, May 9th. The game is set to start at 04:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match has been made by Dailysports experts.
The Canucks looked confident during the regular season and rightfully finished among the top three teams in the Western Conference. In the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the team defeated the Nashville Predators with an overall series victory of 4-2. Brock Boeser and JT Miller were the standout performers, each contributing six points (goals + assists) during the series. It’s difficult to say what Vancouver can offer against Edmonton’s attacking team, but answers to this question will emerge after the first game of the series.
The regular season performance of the Oilers wasn’t the most stable, as the team finished fifth in the Western Conference standings. However, they started the playoffs looking strong. The Oilers didn’t give the Los Angeles Kings any chance, losing only one game in overtime. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continue to dominate on the ice, accumulating a total of 22 points (goals + assists) between them in five games.
