“Vancouver” – “Edmonton”: forecast for the NHL match

Current form

Vancouver had a three-game road trip that turned out to be extremely successful. In the first game, the team met San Jose and easily won 3-2. The Killer Whales showed a solid defense and easily dealt with the opponent pressure. It is also worth praising forward Suter, who scored twice. Then the team went to visit Anaheim, where they left no chance for the Ducks, defeating them with a difference of four goals (5-1). This time, the most productive was defenseman Hughes, who made three assists. Goalie Lankinen also distinguished himself again, reflecting almost all the shots.

After matches with obvious underdogs, the Canucks had to fight a more serious competitor in the face of Los Angeles, but this did not prevent the club from achieving another success. Vancouver did not look so active in attack and played more defensively, but due to lightning-fast counterattacks they won a confident victory (4:2). Once again, defenseman Hughes, who is one of the club most productive players at the moment, showed himself. Thanks to the points scored, the team has already risen to fifth place in the Western Conference table and is clearly not going to stop.

Disqualifications and injuries

It should not be forgotten that Vancouver still has serious problems with its roster. Four players will not be able to take part in the upcoming match: goalkeeper Demko, defenders Forboth and Poolman, as well as forward Joshua. Forward Boeser remains questionable.

Interesting trends for betting

• Vancouver averages 3.25 goals per game

The Canucks had trouble creating and finishing their offensive chances early in the season, but picked up the pace as the regular season progressed and began playing some very productive hockey again.

• On average, the "killer whales" receive nine penalty minutes per match.

But the team still has problems with discipline. The club is often sent off, which gives an advantage to competitors.
