Edmonton Oilers Fight for Survival in Game 6

Oilers Seek Victory to Keep Stanley Cup Hopes Alive

Vancouver Canucks Host Oilers in Crucial Playoff Matchup

The Edmonton Oilers are facing an uphill battle as they travel to Vancouver for Game 6 of their second-round playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks. The Oilers trail the series 3-2, and a loss on Saturday would send them home for the summer.

The Oilers have shown resilience throughout the playoffs, but they will need to play their best game of the series to extend it to a seventh game. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman will need to lead the way offensively, while the Oilers' defense will need to shut down the Canucks' top line of Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller, and Brock Boeser.

The Canucks are coming off a 4-2 victory in Game 5, and they will be looking to close out the series on home ice. Vancouver has played well at home during the playoffs, going 4-1 so far. The Canucks will be led by their captain, Bo Horvat, who has been playing well in the playoffs with seven goals and 12 assists.

Saturday's game is scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on CBC in Canada and on NBCSN in the United States.
