The Canucks kept the all-Canadian clash at the Edmonton Oilers tight until the final period on Saturday (local time), before the Oilers, led by superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, sealed the home victory.

For the Canucks, who remain at the bottom of the standings, it was their 15th defeat in their last 16 games.
