Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/17/26

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers are looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to the Islanders when they visit the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Despite out-shooting the Islanders 35 to 18, the Oilers couldn’t get anything past Ilya Sorokin — who was absolutely dialed in. It was the second time Edmonton has been shut out this season, with the first coming against Minnesota on December 2. The Oilers bounced back strong in the ensuing game, potting 9 goals against the Kraken in a 9-4 win. They should be able to rebound once again in this matchup against Vancouver.

The Canucks enter this contest riding a 9-game losing streak, and their 37 points on the season are the fewest in the NHL. Vancouver could be in for a long second half of the season. After dealing superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes to Minnesota, Vancouver’s offensive ceiling is severely limited. Edmonton goaltender Tristan Jarry is slated to make his second start since returning from injury, so he should be healthy and ready to roll. The Canucks are an ideal team to face, as their 2.60 goals per game rank 28th in the NHL. Look for the Oilers to take care of business in regulation.
