The Vancouver Canucks will host the Edmonton Oilers tonight in Game 7 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Edmonton sent the series to a decisive seventh game with a convincing 5-1 victory in Game 6 on Saturday. It’s the first time two Canadian teams will meet in a Game 7 with a trip to a conference final on the line since 2002. The Oilers are 7-4 all time in Game 7s while the Canucks are 6-6. Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl is riding an 11-game point streak. It looks like the Canucks will be without leading postseason scorer Brock Boeser. The Dallas Stars await the winner, with Game 1 scheduled for Thursday night at American Airlines Center.
