Can Edmonton tie the series in NHL 24?
After the Vancouver Canucks completed an improbable comeback against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of their matchup we simulated Game 2 in NHL 24 to see if Edmonton could tie the series
Our series simulation predicted the Oilers winning in six games.
This simulation went the way of the Oilers, after a great defensive game Evander Kane scored the game winner in overtime.
We kept the Canucks lines the same as Game 1. For Edmonton we moved Warren Foegele up to line one in place of Mattias Janmark. We kept Leon Draisiatl in the Edmonton lineup, though his status for Game 2 was uncertain at the time of writing.
