Oilers play Canucks at Rogers Arena on October 1, 2026.
Tomorrow brings a meeting between second-place Vancouver and third-place Edmonton in the Western Conference. The Canucks are 1-0-0 with 2 points, while the Oilers are 0-0-1 with 1 point. Both teams are in playoff position and sit 0 points from the cutoff. Each has 83 games left, so the standings gap is small this early in the season.
The Canucks are 4-1-0 in their last five games and have 8 points. Jake DeBrusk leads them with 4 goals, while Filip Hronek has 5 assists. Edmonton is 1-2-2 over the same span and has 4 points. Vasily Podkolzin has scored 5 goals for the Oilers, and Evan Bouchard has added 8 assists.
Edmonton has had the better results in the recent meetings. The Oilers are 3-0-2 across the last five games against Vancouver and have 8 points. The Canucks are 2-3-0 in those games with 4 points. Vancouver did win its only game this season, earning 2 points, while Edmonton has 1 point from its first game.
The Canucks have the edge because their recent form is stronger. Vancouver has won 4 of its last 5 games, with all 4 victories coming in overtime. Edmonton has one win in that span and has lost twice in regulation. The Oilers’ recent head-to-head record keeps this close, but Vancouver has been the steadier team so far.
