It’s a busy NHL schedule on Thursday night, and that includes the Vancouver Canucks visiting the Arizona Coyotes. Both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, and they have been for weeks.
A lack of motivation can always have an impact near the end of the regular season, and that could be the case in this game. There are some interesting NHL games today, but this isn’t a game that is going to mean much to either team.
Looking at the Canucks vs Coyotes odds is a great place to start, but there is other information to look at when making NHL picks.

Vancouver Canucks vs. Arizona Coyotes Betting Preview
Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks lineup does have some talent in it, and that’s why it is so frustrating that this team can’t get into the playoff mix. Vancouver is scoring 3.27 goals per game this season, but they are allowing nearly 3.6 goals on the other end of the ice.
Elias Pettersson has put up some impressive NHL player stats this season for the Canucks, as he has racked up over 100 points. Pettersson just had a pair of assists in the most recent game, as he is looking to finish the year off strong.
Vancouver will be trying to speed up the tempo in this matchup, and that will make it hard for Arizona to keep up.
Arizona Coyotes
The Arizona Coyotes were expected to be at the bottom of the NHL standings this season, but they have actually exceeded expectations. This has been one of the best Arizona Coyotes records over the last few years, and the play of Clayton Keller is a big reason why.
Keller has scored 37 goals and also had 48 assists this season, and he has really carried that offense. Arizona has been one of the worst NHL teams when it comes to special teams play, and that is something that must be improved in the future.
The NHL injury report for Arizona isn’t as long as it is for the Canucks, but there are still some talented players missing from action in this one.
Vancouver Canucks vs. Arizona Coyotes Betting Picks
After looking at the Canucks vs Coyotes odds on Thursday night, it’s pretty clear that the visiting team is the clear betting favorite. Even though Vancouver doesn’t have anything to play for either, they still should have enough talent to win this game.
Don’t expect a ton of offense in this game, as both teams will be missing some offensive talent in this one. The first two meetings between Vancouver and Arizona have gone under six goals, and that will be the case in this game as well.
When making your NHL expert picks, go with the Canucks and Under.
- Over/Under: Under 6.5 (-110)
- Moneyline/Run Line: Vancouver Canucks -155
