Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
After the unsuccessful end of the home series and the defeat from Montreal (2:4), the team went to play on the road, where they met with Calgary. Once again, Vancouver had defensive problems, which allowed the opponent to take advantage in the second period, and everything was heading for another setback. However, at the end of the meeting, the killer whales equalized the score and moved the game into overtime. It came to a shootout, where they managed to snatch Victoria with a final score of 4:3. In particular, it is worth praising the entire first link, since absolutely every hockey player has distinguished himself by effective action.
Returning to the home arena, the team was able to consolidate its success in a duel with a clear outsider, Chicago. Tokket's wards realized their full attacking potential, leaving no chance for the hawks and defeating them with a score of 6:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Thanks to the points scored, Vancouver regained its place in the playoff zone, rising to eighth place in the Western Conference table.

Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah continues to be in poor shape and is having a hard time earning points. In the last four matches, the team managed to win only one victory over not the most serious opponent, in the person of Anaheim (3:2). We managed to achieve success due to a very active game in attack, in three periods we managed to land 39 shots on the Ducks' goal. It should be noted that Turigny's wards were twice just one step away from success in matches with Chicago and Toronto, but lost in overtime and a shootout, respectively, with a similar score of 3:4.
After the end of a not very successful home series, the team went to visit Seattle, where they did not play reliably enough in defense and suffered another defeat (2:4). The goalkeeper of Weimelk showed his worst side, reflecting only 85% of shots. Indeed, the club's debut season has not been going well so far. At the moment, Utah occupies only the 11th place in the Western Conference table, but it still has a good chance of reaching the playoffs, as it is only four points behind the eighth position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bjugstad, Vyalimyaki and Igraham will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries. Bortuzzo and O'Brien are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Utah gets 9.5 penalty minutes per match.
- The team has implemented 23% of majority attempts

2.34Tip and bets
As you can see, Vancouver has finally begun to recover from a long recession and is steadily making progress again. In addition to this, the team will perform at the home arena, where, with the support of the fans, it has even more chances to win. Utah, in turn, is far from its optimal form and steadily loses points in matches against both clear favorites and opponents of its own level. It is for this reason that we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is for Vancouver to win the match in 1.84
Bet on the total
In the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Recently, both teams have been experiencing defensive problems and are trying to compensate for them by attacking, which leads to productive fights. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.87
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vancouver will try to create pressure on Utah from the first minutes of the match due to its superiority over the opponent, as well as the advantages of the home walls. We believe that the wards of Turigny will not be able to cope with the pressure of the opponent and will allow him to take the lead at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Vancouver won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.78
