Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers Game 3 Betting Pick – 5/12/2024

The Vancouver Canucks will face off against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of their Western Conference playoff series on May 12, 2024. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Canucks as +170 underdogs and the Oilers as -205 favorites. Early betting trends show 18% of moneyline bets on the Canucks and 82% on the Oilers. The total of 6.5 has 18% of bets on the under and 82% on the over. The game promises to be a thrilling matchup between these two competitive teams.

This series is tied 1-1 going into Canucks vs Oilers Game 3. But the Oilers are rather convincing favorites to come out of this swing game with a victory on their home ice. There is an expected drop-off from the Canucks in this game, as they are hitting the road for the first time in the series. But we will take the Canucks as an underdog in this matchup, as they have a chance to steal this game and grab home-ice advantage back.

The atmosphere in Edmonton is going to be wild given the rivalry between these two West Canadian sides. But the defense from the Oilers always has the potential to derail them. We will take the plus money in this game, as the underdog could come away with a win in every game of this series given how little there is to separate these squads.
