Canucks Look to Stay Unbeaten Against Winless Oilers Friday Night

Canucks Look to Stay Unbeaten Against Winless Oilers Friday Night

Vancouver enjoying successful start to the season

The Canucks have played just two games to begin the 2014-2015 season, winning both of them by a total score of 9-6. Their second win of the season came against the Edmonton Oilers in a shootout on Saturday. Vancouver has had a weird schedule to begin the year playing just two games, but they are prepared for a hungry Edmonton team still looking for its first win.

Edmonton being outscored at a high rate to begin year

As the new season is just over a week old, the Oilers are already 0-3-1 on the season through four games. They have just one point, which is tied for lowest in the league with the Florida Panthers. The Oilers have been outscored 13-5 in their last two games and 23-11 overall to begin the season. They have allowed an average of 5.5 goals this season and have allowed five power play goals.
