Vancouver vs. Seattle: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Vancouver suffered a setback in the two-game road series. In the first game against Utah, the team confidently led by two goals at the beginning of the third period, but was unable to maintain the advantage over their opponent. With four minutes left in the game, Utah took advantage of the "killer whales" penalty, tying the score, and won in overtime with a score of 3:2. In the next game against Vegas, Tocchet charges did not demonstrate their offensive power, scoring only one goal, which ultimately led to another defeat (1:3).

Back home, the Canucks faced Ottawa, who are not a serious opponent. Despite good chances to win, the team squandered them again, taking the match to overtime. As a result, Vancouver suffered its third defeat in a row, losing 4:5. The game of goalie Lankinen was especially unsuccessful, he stopped only 77% of the shots. As expected, the club was still able to interrupt its losing streak in the match with San Jose, winning in regulation time (4:3). In particular, it is worth noting the efforts of Pettersson, who scored twice. The team began to recover from the slump in time, as it was on the verge of elimination from the playoff zone.

Disqualifications and injuries

Vancouver infirmary has become more problematic. The team will continue to play without Hronek, and one of the club best forwards, Pettersson, remains in question.

Interesting trends for betting

• Vancouver is allowing an average of 3.15 goals per game.

The Killer Whales continue to have serious difficulties in defense and often allow their opponents to use their attacking potential.

• The Canucks are averaging nine penalty minutes per game.

It should also be noted that discipline in the team is not always good, which often leads to the removal of players.
