Canucks Return to Rogers Arena Looking to Regain Series Lead
Canucks Fall Short After Late Push in Game 4
Oilers Take 3-1 Series Lead; Game 5 Set for Friday
The Vancouver Canucks return to Rogers Arena on Friday night looking to regain the lead in their second-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers. The Canucks fell 4-2 in Game 4 on Wednesday night in Edmonton, despite a late push in the third period. The Oilers now lead the series 3-1.
The Canucks were outshot 32-24 in Game 4, but they had several chances to tie the game in the third period. However, they were unable to capitalize on their opportunities, and the Oilers held on for the victory.
The Canucks will need to find a way to generate more offense in Game 5 if they want to tie the series. They will also need to improve their defensive play, as they have allowed four goals in each of the first four games of the series.
The Oilers, meanwhile, will be looking to close out the series in Game 5. They have been the better team in the series so far, and they will be confident that they can win in Vancouver.
Game 5 is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. PT on Friday night. The game will be televised on Sportsnet and CBC.
