On March 8, Vancouver will once again perform at its home arena, where it will try to continue to delight fans with successful results.

Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver has completed a long away streak of five matches, in which the team showed terrible results. In total, the Canucks were able to win one victory over Los Angeles, and then snatched it with great difficulty in overtime (3:2). There were also defeats, the team was unable to give a decent rebuff to Anaheim (2:5) and Seattle (3:6). Twice, the defensive line allowed the opponents to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments at their own goal, and the attack was unable to compensate for this disadvantage.
The club was able to partially rehabilitate itself in front of the fans only by returning to its home arena, where it held a return match with Anaheim. This time, the killer whales played as reliably as possible in defense, allowing Ducks to make only 16 shots in three periods, and as a result, they won in regular time (3:2). It is impossible not to mention the efforts of goalkeeper Gronek, who provided two assists. Due to the long-term recession, the club has not been able to rise to the playoff zone. At the moment, the team occupies the ninth place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the nearest competitor is only one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Demko and Juulsen will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Hughes is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Vancouver is averaging 2.75 goals per game.
- The Canucks receive an average of 9.2 penalty minutes per game.
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Nevertheless, Minnesota coped with its slump and began to steadily earn points again. The team broke its three-match losing streak by playing at home, where they faced Boston. The savages showed an amazing defensive game, and in particular, goalkeeper Gustavsson should be praised for deflecting all the shots, which allowed them to win a dry victory (1-0). It is also impossible not to mention the efforts of the second-tier striker Gaudreau, who scored the winning goal.
After that, Wilde went to Seattle to perform, where, although with great difficulty, they were still able to consolidate their success, snatching a victory in regular time (4:3). This time, the entire second link scored a total of nine effective actions. It is also impossible not to mention the efforts of goalkeeper Gustavsson, who this time reflected 33 shots out of 36, which did not allow the Kraken to catch on to the comeback. Thanks to the points scored, the club is gradually starting to regain its position in the Western Conference table and is currently in fifth place with 76 points.

2.21Tip and bets
Strangely enough, Vancouver is the clear favorite in the upcoming match. Indeed, the club has returned to its home arena, where, with the support of the fans, it has a good chance of success, but it should be borne in mind that a very serious opponent in the person of Minnesota stands in its way. The savages are superior to the killer whales in all respects this season, as they prove throughout the regular season. It is for this reason that we suggest taking advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and placing a bet in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win the match in 2.07
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams have been experiencing serious defensive problems lately and conceding too much, which makes matches involving the clubs very productive.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 2.02
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Vancouver is showing its best side at home, and due to this, it is possible to create problems for Minnesota at the start of the match.
Prediction - Vancouver won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.77
