LiontipsEdmonton vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 16, 2021).
Command Analysis
Edmonton are having a good season and are on the second line of the standings. They will go to playoffs from the second position and will take on Winnipeg in the first round. Even after solving all their tournament tasks, the Oilers are showing good results and are on a three-game winning streak.
Let's remind you, that Edmonton beat Vancouver at home (4: 3), and then defeated Montreal away twice. Usually, Dave Tippett's team shows a very productive game and scores at least three goals per game.
Vancouver completely failed this season. The team had everything to get into the playoffs, but still, they are finishing the regular season on the last line of the Northern Division. Over the past 11 games, they have won only two games. In two previous matches, the Canucks suffered crushing defeats from Winnipeg (0:5) and Calgary (1:4).
In general, Travis Green's charges give a poor performance this season. They have won only six games in regulation time out of 26. The team is no longer striving to get away from the last line of the table because they prefer to have more chances in the draft.
