The Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers battle for the second time this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Oilers lost to the Canucks on Saturday and hope to avoid a three-game skid as they welcome their divisional rivals to Rogers Place on Thursday. I’m backing Quinn Hughes and Leon Draisaitl to produce and am fading Jake DeBrusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Canucks vs. Oilers props for Jan. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to full NHL betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #107280<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Draisaitl over 2.5 shots (-143)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been on this bet a few times and it’s been printing me money, so I’m going back to the well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-headed monster in Edmonton has shrunk to one with the suspension of Connor McDavid. Draisaitl has been up to the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German sniper has six points in his last three games, including nine shots on goal over that stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oilers have been firing pucks on net this season. They rank second in the NHL with 31.9 shots per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draisaitl ranks in the top 20 among all NHL players with 3.17 shots\/game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Draisaitl has cleared this line in eight of his last 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DeBrusk under 0.5 points (-165):<\/strong> Throughout his career, DeBrusk’s strongest ability has been his goalscoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeBrusk paces the Canucks in goals (17) but has been on a cold stretch lately, with just three in his last 18 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oilers’ defensive numbers have been impressive this season, making this pick all the more enticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 7th in goals allowed\/game: 2.74<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 4th in shots allowed\/game: 26.1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Vancouver has the second-lowest shots on goal per game (25.3), ahead of only the Chicago Blackhawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to Natural Stat Trick, the Canucks are second-worst in high-danger chances per 60 (9.6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hughes over 0.5 power-play points (+165):<\/strong> Hughes is the backbone of the lacklustre ninth-place Vancouver Canucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    His team ranks among his Canucks teammates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 1st in points (51)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1st in assists (39)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1st in time in ice (25:21)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1st in plus-minus (+11)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Despite Vancouver’s woes, their T13th-ranked power play has been sufficient \u2014 and it’s led by the reigning Norris Trophy winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Hughes paces all Canucks in power-play points (20) and ice time (3:44\/game). He has eight more power-play points than the next Canucks player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
