The Edmonton Oilers host the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place on Saturday after the teams combined for 27 goals in their first two meetings. The clubs split those games.

Vancouver won 6–5 in overtime at Rogers Place on opening night. Edmonton won 9–7 two nights later in Vancouver, where the Oilers scored four times in the first period and the Canucks scored four in the third, according to the Canucks’ game notes.

Edmonton leads the Pacific Division at 11–3–3 but has lost two straight. Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard leads NHL defensemen with 10 goals and had a hat trick against Vancouver earlier in the season, according to the Canucks.

Puck drop is at 10 p.m. ET. It is the second game of Edmonton’s four-game homestand.
