Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton’s projected lineup for game against the Vancouver Canucks | Jan. 23, 2025

Modified Jan 22, 2025 17:52 GMT

The Edmonton Oilers will look to snap a two-game skid when they collide with the Vancouver Canucks. Since December, Edmonton has continued to climb up the Pacific Division's standings, landing in second place behind the Vegas Golden Knights. The team will be facing off against a Vancouver Canucks squad that is currently in the hunt for a wild card spot in the Western Conference.

Edmonton won't be the only team looking to get back in the win column tonight, as the Canucks look to bounce back from a 3–2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres earlier in the week, which returned them to the loss column after handing the Oilers a 3–2 loss last weekend.
