Vancouver Canucks vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Preview
Canucks Take to the Road Following 5-3-1 Record on Homestand
Vancouver has maintained its solid play over the last few weeks despite being without starting goaltender Thatcher Demko, one of the NHL picks to win the Vezina Trophy. They’re 6-3-1 in their last 10 games, nine of which were at home as they finished their nine-game homestand with a 5-3-1 record. They now play three consecutive games on the road in Vegas, Arizona, and Los Angeles.
The Canucks rank sixth in NHL stats for goals (3.45), 26th in shots (28.2), fifth in goals allowed (2.64), and sixth in shots allowed (28.7). They’re 21-11-4 on the road. J.T. Miller leads the team in NHL player stats with 94 points (35 goals, 59 assists). Elias Pettersson is second on the team with 84 points (33 goals, 51 assists).
In addition to Demko, the Canucks are without Tucker Poolman and Elias Lindholm, both of whom are on the NHL injury report.
Golden Knights Seeking Third Consecutive Win
Vegas made significant moves at the NHL trade deadline, acquiring Anthony Mantha and Tomas Hertl while barely holding down a spot in the playoffs. The gamble paid off as they’re 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and have won two in a row against the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets. Meanwhile, Hertl, who was injured, is finally back on the ice and should be ready for the playoffs.
The Golden Knights come into the Canucks vs Golden Knights odds 15th in goals (3.16), 13th in shots (31.4), 10th in goals allowed (2.89), and 22nd in shots allowed (30.7). They’re 23-11-2 in NHL scores at T-Mobile Arena this season. Jonathan Marchessault leads the team in scoring with 63 points (40 goals, 23 assists).
