LiontipsArizona vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 8, 2022).
Command Analysis
Arizona will probably remain in the last position in the Western Conference. At the moment, the Coyotes are one point behind Seattle, but the Kraken have a game in hand over them. The team has struggled to mount a winning streak lately and alternated between victories and defeats.
The Coyotes were crushed by Anaheim (0:5) and prevailed over Chicago in overtime (3:2 OT). After that, they lost to St. Louis (1:5). They rarely score more than two goals per game, mostly because their best attacking performers, including Clayton Keller, are out injured.
Vancouver have dropped out and have missed their chance to secure a playoffs spot. They are currently seven points behind the 8th Dallas. In the last three games, the Canucks lost to St. Louis twice (1:4 and 3:4), and also yielded to Vegas in overtime (2:3 OT).
Bruce Beaudreau's men concede a lot in first periods and rarely score more than twice per game. The Canucks also will have to play without some important men, for instance, Nils Hoglander and Brandon Sutter are sidelined with injuries.
Trends
СтавкаVancouver IT under 3.5 goals
Vancouver have scored fewer than 4 goals in 4 out of 5 games.
Ставка1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In 3 of the 5 games between the clubs, more than one goal was scored in the first period.
Tip and bets
At the moment, Arizona are doing quite well and often deliver decent results. Vancouver have lost their chance to qualify for the playoffs, so they don't have the motivation to give their best performance in the upcoming game. Moreover, the last time they won an away game against the Coyotes was about four years ago.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Arizona
Vancouver scored more than three goals in just two of their last ten games. The Canucks struggle to convert their chances on road trips, so we suggest playing their individual total.
Second bet - Vancouver IT under 3.5 goals
