It’s down to the last game to decide whether the Edmonton Oilers, sitting in second place, or the Vegas Golden Knights will secure the Pacific Division crown.
While the Golden Knights are two points ahead with a game remaining, the Oilers still have a shot at winning the Pacific Division for the first time.
Can the Edmonton Oilers Win the Pacific Division This Year?
The Oilers’ Pacific Division champion odds are off the board.
The Oilers must beat the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place, while the Golden Knights have to lose in regulation at home against the Seattle Kraken for Edmonton to win the division.
In that scenario, Edmonton would secure the Pacific Division thanks to owning the tiebreaker of most wins in regulation.
The Anaheim Ducks lost against the Minnesota Wild, and the Los Angeles Kings fell to the Vancouver Canucks in overtime, ending their chances of winning the division.
The Oilers’ Stanley Cup odds are off the board, and I believe they’re the most likely Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup.
