The Vancouver Canucks face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of their Western Conference second-round series. The series has been close with all one-goal games, including the Canucks' 3-2 win in Game 5. Vancouver leads the series 3-2, putting the Oilers on the brink of elimination. Edmonton struggled on the power play, while Vancouver was more physical and efficient at the faceoff circle. Pickard has played well for the Oilers, but Demko's return is uncertain for the Canucks. The game is expected to be low-scoring with potential for Vancouver to cover the puck line.

As for NHL betting options, taking Vancouver on the puck line provides insurance in case of an Edmonton win in a close game. The total goals have decreased in the past two games, with the Under hitting consistently. The intensity of the playoff series usually leads to better goaltending, defense, and physicality. Prop bets to consider include Brock Boeser Over 2.5 shots on goal and Vincent Desharnais Over 1.5 blocked shots.
