LiontipsVancouver - Anaheim: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Vancouver completed a five-match away series, which turned out to be a complete failure. The team managed to win only one victory over Los Angeles, and that was by snatching Victoria with great difficulty in overtime (3:2). The Canucks showed a very weak offensive game and made only 17 shots at the Kings' goal in three periods, but it turned out to be enough for success. However, after that, the Canucks' game stopped developing from the word at all. The team was defeated by a clear outsider in the person of Anaheim (2:5). Goalkeeper Shilov showed his worst side, reflecting only 83% of shots.
In the final match of the away series, the club fought with Seattle and also could not cope with the pressure of the opponent, allowing him to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments in his zone. This time, Lankinen defended the goal, but he also failed in his main task, playing even worse than his teammate. Indeed, the killer whales are not looking their best this season and cannot even gain a foothold in the playoff zone. At the moment, the team is on the ninth line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the nearest competitor is two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Juulssen is still in the Vancouver infirmary. Hughes is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Vancouver concedes three goals per match.
- On average, the Canucks receive 9.13 penalty minutes per game.
Current form
Anaheim continues to show mixed results, alternating wins with losses. After the unsuccessful end of the away series and the defeat by Buffalo (2:3), the team returned to the home arena, where they were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, winning a landslide victory over Vancouver (5:2). The most productive were the first-line forwards Terry and Strom, who scored three goals each. It seemed that the Ducks would easily consolidate their success and beat Chicago as well, but this did not happen. There were huge problems in defense, and goalkeeper Gibson did not cope with his task, reflecting only 75% of shots. As a result, this led to a 3-6 defeat.
Few people could have expected that visiting Edmonton, Cronin's wards would again show themselves at their best and not just earn points, but would leave no chance for the clear favorite, defeating him with a score of 6:2. It is difficult even to single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. It seems that Anaheim is not going to put up with its situation. The team is trying its best to get closer to the playoff zone, which is currently eight points behind.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the Anaheim infirmary, everything is still unchanged. McGinn and Susanek are definitely unable to join the team, and Fabbri remains in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Anaheim scores 2.6 goals per game.
- On average, Ducks make 28 shots per match.

1.50Tip and bets
Vancouver still returned to its home arena, where it has excellent chances to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans. Indeed, the team looks much better at home and consistently earns points. Anaheim, in turn, although it was able to beat Edmonton, is unlikely to repeat such success, given its instability. In general, killer whales outperform their competitors in all respects, and it is for this reason that we suggest making a confident bet in their favor.
Our betting tip is that Vancouver will win in 1.74
Bet on the total
We can also expect productive hockey in the upcoming match. Both teams cannot boast of a reliable defensive game this season and often miss a large number of goals. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.89
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vancouver is playing a great game at home from the very beginning of the match. Due to their superiority and the support of their home stands, the team has a great chance to regain the advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Vancouver wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.50
