The Canucks get set to cap off their season-high seven game road trip with a Northwest Division battle against the Oilers in Edmonton.
Vancouver (16-10-3) will go with the same line-up as the one they iced last Tuesday in a 3-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. Sami Salo is not 100% healthy yet as he continues to recover from a nagging groin injury. Rob Davison will be slotted back on to the blue line.
The Oilers (13-12-2) are playing just their 10th home game of the season tonight. They're coming off a 2-0 loss at home two nights ago against the Florida Panthers.
In their previous meeting this season, the Canucks posted a 6-3 win at GM Place. Jannik Hansen and Mason Raymond each scored a pair of goals in the win while Robert Nillson had a goal and an assist in the loss.
