Round 2 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs comes to a close tonight with Game 7 of the Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks match-up. If you're hoping to tune in, look no further. We've put together everything you need to know about how to watch Oilers vs. Canucks live streams.
The two Canadian teams last played each other on Saturday, when the Oilers pulled out a whopping 5-1 win, thereby tying up the round and sending the teams to Game 7. The Oilers were in a similar position last year when they were eliminated from the Playoffs in Game 7 of Round 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Canucks, on the other hand, didn't even make it to the Playoffs last year, so they've already exceeded expectations for the 2023-2024 season.

How to watch Oilers vs. Canucks from anywhere
If you'll be traveling away from home during the game but still want in on the action, you can try accessing your subscriptions with a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs enable you to change your electronic device's location on a temporary basis, allowing you to access your usual websites from anywhere. Plus, they're easy ways to boost your online privacy. Since the services we've outlined today require country-specific forms of payment, this option will be best for people who are just traveling outside their home country at the moment and hoping to use their existing subscriptions.
