The Edmonton Oilers are seeking their second victory in the second round of their series against the Vancouver Canucks.
After losing Game one, they aim to maintain their positive momentum, especially as they face the Canucks on home ice for the first time. Anticipating the lively atmosphere in Vancouver, tonight’s game in Edmonton promises to be an energetic affair.
Former Oiler Zack Kassian is poised to make an unexpected impact, adding an element of surprise for fans.
While Arturs Silovs has started the first two games, the return of Thatcher Demko, their top goaltender and Vezina Trophy nominee, looms as a significant boost for the Canucks.
Today’s update on Demko’s condition raises some concern for the Oilers, as he is now participating in practice, suggesting he may reclaim the starting position before the series concludes.
This development could inject added energy into the Oilers’ efforts to secure victories in the next two games in Edmonton, essential now that the series has become a best of five following the split in Vancouver.
