The Edmonton Oilers hosted the Vancouver Canucks in their second game of the 2025-26 season. This was their final home game before heading out on their first road trip of the season.
Following a frustrating loss to the Calgary Flames, the team needed to show up for 60 minutes to pull out a win over the Canucks, which included Evander Kane on their roster.
“We’ve gotten off to a good start through training camp and a nice win at home the other night. Want to follow it up with a tough opponent in Edmonton.”
Kane's pre-game statement set the stage for a challenging match. The Oilers were determined to prevent the Canucks from following up their win.
