With Mikael Samuelsson leading the way, the Vancouver Canucks look to win on the road for the first time this season as they face the Northwest Division rival Edmonton Oilers tonight.

Those who are NHL betting, should know that the Oilers are 1-6 in their last seven games following a win.

Samuelsson has two goals in three road games, but Vancouver has lost all off of those contests while getting outscored 13-6.

A matchup at Edmonton may not help the Canucks’ cause. Vancouver has lost four of its last six road games versus the Oilers after winning the previous four.

The Oilers also had to contend with injuries in their last contest, beating the Wild 5-2 on Friday without forward Ales Hemsky (illness).

Defensemen Sheldon Souray and Steve Staios, meanwhile, continue to miss time due to concussions.

Vancouver and Edmonton tied last season’s series 3-3-0.
