Vancouver - Anaheim: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

At the moment, Vancouver is on the decline, and the series of defeats has already reached three matches in a row. The team unsuccessfully completed a long away series, first suffering an insulting defeat from Columbus (6:7), and then losing to the current leader of the Western Conference in the person of Winnipeg (1:3). In the duel with the Jets, the team played too passively and in three periods made only 24 shots at the opponent's goal, which was not enough.

Returning to the home arena, the Canucks clearly expected to win the match against Seattle, but the performance problems did not go away. Of the 24 shots, none reached the target, and as a result, they had to suffer a dry defeat (0:5). Goalkeeper Demko also showed a terrible game, reflecting only 77% of shots. Another recession has led to the fact that the situation of the team is becoming critical. At the moment, the club occupies only the 10th place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is already eight points, which is quite a lot, given the serious competition.

Disqualifications and injuries

Khitil, Juulsen and Pettersson will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Heglander is also questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Vancouver scores only 2.8 goals per game.
• The Canucks receive an average of 9.15 penalty minutes per game.

Current form

Anaheim has completed a five-match home streak, which can be called a success in the end. The team suffered defeats only from clear favorites, losing to Carolina (2:5) and Toronto with a difference of only one goal (2:3). However, it is worth noting that the victories were given to Dax with great difficulty. The team made a comeback in a duel with the Rangers, winning back with a score of 1:3 and snatching Victoria in overtime (5:4). Also, Cronin's team almost lost to San Jose, but still achieved success in the shootout (4:3).

Next, the Ducks went to play on the road, where they met with Calgary and failed to realize their attacking potential. Out of 27 shots, only one reached the target, which led to a defeat with a score of 1:4. Goalkeeper Gibson also showed his worst side, having to be replaced at the beginning of the third period. It is worth noting that Anaheim has been fighting for a long time to get into the playoffs and even had a good chance of doing so, but due to constant declines, the club will remain without the Stanley Cup this season, as the gap from the eighth position is already 15 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Fabbri, Johnston, McGinn and Sushanek will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

• Dax completed only 12% of the majority's attempts.
