Vancouver Canucks - Vegas Golden Knights: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Vancouver picked up a good pace at the end of the regular season and has been steadily earning points for four consecutive matches. The team played two matches on the road and in the first one was able to snatch Victoria from Dallas in overtime (6:5), taking advantage of its weak form. The third period turned out to be the most unexpected, the Canucks equalized in the last seconds, scoring three goals in one minute. It seems that this Victory gave them confidence in their abilities, which allowed them to defeat another clear favorite, Colorado, with a score of 4:1. Goalkeeper Lankinen made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 31 shots out of 32.

However, the killer whales began to have difficulties in the home arena. The team suffered an insulting defeat against Minnesota in overtime (2:3), and also with great difficulty wrested Victoria from the main outsider of the Western Conference in the person of San Jose (2:1, OT). It should be noted that all these points scored are no longer particularly important, as there is no chance of qualifying for the playoffs.

Disqualifications and injuries

Khitil, Juulsen, Pettersson, Oman, Forbot and Demko will not play in the upcoming match. Also, Sasson remains in question.

• On average, Vancouver holds 27 power moves per match.

Current form

Vegas has a great desire to finish the regular season on the first line in the table and has consistently shown excellent results for a long time, rarely losing points. After an insulting defeat by Colorado in a shootout (2:3), the team quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans and won the regular time in the next match with Seattle (2:1). It is worth praising goalkeeper Hill, who reflected 96% of shots, which did not allow the opponent to catch on to the comeback. In the final match of the home series, the Golden Knights confidently defeated Nashville (5-3) due to the excellent execution of attacking chances. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.

After that, the knights went to visit Calgary, where they again showed their attacking potential, but this time the defensive line did not play reliably enough. The opponent equalized the score in the third period and moved the game to overtime, where they had to concede (4:5). The goal was defended by Samsonov, who did not play as reliably as his teammate.

Disqualifications and injuries

Pietrangelo and Lehner will miss the upcoming match. Aikel also remains in question.
