Golden Knights vs Canucks Prediction

The Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks face off on Thursday in an NHL showdown at Rogers Arena. Let’s look at the betting matchup and give a free Golden Knights vs Canucks prediction. 

Golden Knights Starting to Struggle

The Golden Knights have had a good season but they are starting to slump. Vegas has lost three games in a row and in the last game against the Edmonton Oilers, the defense really struggled, The offense scored four goals, but they still lost in a shootout. Michael Amadio scored a goal and added an assist. The Golden Knights on the season is averaging 3.087 goals while their defense is giving up 2.44 goals per game. In this game Vegas needs to find a way to get the offense going early.

Why Aren’t the Canucks Getting A Lot of Attention?

The Canucks just keep beating games and the national media still doesn’t give them a whole lot of attention. On Tuesday the Canucks faced off against the Anaheim Ducks and they were able to secure the 3-1 victory. Brock Boeser had another strong game scoring two goals. The Canucks on the season are averaging 3.96 goals while their defense is giving up 2.48 goals per game. The offense is ranked second while the defense is ranked 4th. JT Miller has scored 13 goals and added 22 assists. 

Golden Knights vs Canucks Betting Prediction 

These are two elite defenses and both of these games are going to be all about the defense. The Golden Knights are giving up 2.44 goals per game. The Canucks in the last game gave up only one goal. I expect both of these defenses are going to step up in a big way here and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to go stay a goal or two under the total. Back the under to cash here.
