Ducks vs Canucks Prediction

The Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks meet Wednesday in NHL action at the Rogers Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Anaheim Ducks are averaging 2.5 goals per game and are scoring on 15.6 percent of their power play opportunities. Trevor Zegras leads Anaheim with 20 goals, Troy Terry has 30 assists and Frank Vatrano has 180 shots on goal. Defensively, the Anaheim Ducks are allowing 4.1 goals per game and are killing 73.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. John Gibson has given up 157 goals on 1,613 shots faced, and Anthony Stolarz has allowed 51 goals on 494 shots.

The Vancouver Canucks are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 23.1 percent of their power play opportunities. Elias Pettersson leads Vancouver with 30 goals, Quinn Hughes has 55 assists and JT Miller has 173 shots on goal. Defensively, the Vancouver Canucks are allowing 3.9 goals per game and are killing 67.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Thatcher Demko has given up 63 goals on 590 shots faced, and Spencer Martin has allowed 107 goals on 830 shots.

The Ducks are 14-38 in their last 52 road games and 25-62 in their last 87 overall. The Canucks are 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest and 10-4 in their last 14 vs. Pacific. The under is 4-0-1 in Ducks last 5 overall. The over is 16-6-5 in Canucks last 27 overall. The Ducks are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Vancouver and 12-4 in the last 16 meetings.

The Anaheim Ducks don't win on the road, and their defense cant be trusted against respectable teams. The Vancouver Canucks are the clear better team at both ends of the ice, and their offense should have a field day against this Ducks defense. No reason for the Canucks not to get the victory here, and of course I'll lay the PL for max betting value. The Anaheim Ducks just can't be trusted in spots like this.
