Frustrations boiled over between the Canucks and Oilers on Saturday. Now Edmonton superstar Connor McDavid could miss games as a result.

The Winnipeg Jets host the Vancouver Canucks after Nikolaj Ehlers' two-goal game against the Colorado Avalanche in the Jets' 3-0 win.

The Edmonton Oilers took to the ice for practice moments ago, unveiling a lineup with some minor changes before facing the rival Vancouver Canucks. Oilers forward Victor Arvidsson did sustain a minor injury in the last game,

Leon Draisaitl scored twice and Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for the Oilers (29-14-3), who lost for the first time in five games and second in the past 10 (8-2-0).

Edmonton hasn't been blowing anyone away recently, and our expert NHL predictions anticipate the Canucks making a game of it tonight.

According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, the Blue Jackets might be among the teams reaching out to the Canucks to hear the ask for Elias Pettersson. Rumors this past week were that the Canucks aren’t closed off to trading Pettersson inside the Western Conference, but a trade to the East would be preferable.

The Vancouver Canucks find themselves grappling with internal tensions between star forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson while navigating the complexities of a competitive playoff race amid endless trade speculation and rumors involving the two players.

Make no mistake, what transpired at the end of Saturday night’s game was ugly. Cross-checks to the head and neck, no matter the reason for it, are more than deserving of supplemental discipline.

Brannstrom, a former first round pick (15th overall) for the Las Vegas Golden Knights at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, has appeared in 28 games for the Canucks this season, scoring 3 goals and adding 5 assists for a total of 8 points, but has been made a healthy scratch by Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet at numerous points in the season already.

General manager Patrik Allvin announced Sunday that the club placed Erik Brannstrom on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the AHL.

The five-foot-10 blue-liner won the Norris Trophy for the NHL's best defenseman in 2023-24, and with half of this season in the books, he's making another case for himself. Throughout all of the turmoil that the Vancouver Canucks have endured, Hughes' numbers have remained consistent.

The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a solid effort against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, picking up the franchise’s 6th shutout of the season as they downed their division rivals 3 to 0.
