Canucks vs Canadiens Key Stats
The Canucks have been decent on offense, with more than 3 goals per game so far this season. They will hope that the partnership between Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat performs similarly in this game too. Both have been solid with 33 goal contributions.
Canucks have failed to maintain their solidarity with 381 shots and have conceded more than 4 goals per game so far this season. Though the goalkeepers have done well with a save percentage of 0.886, their individual efforts have gone in vain due to poor defending.
The Canadiens have not done that well this season and could only score 36 goals in 13 games of the season. They are dependent upon Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield on offense, who have managed 29 goal contributions between them.
Their defense has often been exploited by their opponents and they have conceded 33.15 shots per game. The goaltenders have a save percentage of around 0.911, but have conceded more than three goals per game, making it difficult for the team to take any positives from their performances.
Canucks vs Canadiens Betting Prediction
The Canucks have not played well and the statistics of the past are not great either. They are 4-10 in their last 14 games overall and are 2-6 in their last 8 when their opponents allowed 2 goals or less in their previous game.
The Canadiens have not been half decent either and are are 16-35 in their last 51 home games and have lost 43 times in their last 64 games after when played without a day's rest.
The Canucks will win this game with better gameplay.
