Vancouver Canucks vs Boston Bruins Betting Analysis
Both of these teams are among the leading NHL picks to win the Stanley Cup and virtual locks to make the NHL playoffs this season. Vancouver was not expected to be this good, but they’ve been the most consistent team all season and, with the addition of Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames, appear poised for a deep playoff run. Lindholm scored two goals in his first game with Vancouver in a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.
The Canucks have won two NHL games in a row and are 8-0-2 in their last 10 NHL matchups. They haven’t lost in regulation since losing 2-1 to the St. Louis Blues on January 4. The Vancouver Canucks are first among NHL teams in goals (3.78) and second in goals allowed (2.54). Yet, they’re 27th in shots (28.1) and have the league’s best shooting percentage (13.5). J.T. Miller leads the Vancouver Canucks stats with 68 points (22 goals, 46 assists).
The Boston Bruins, meanwhile, are eighth in goals (3.44) and fourth in goals allowed (2.62). They also excel in special teams, ranking sixth and ninth in power-play and penalty kill percentage, respectively. Boston is 16-5-3 at home this season and 7-2-1 in their last 10 games ahead of the Canucks vs Bruins picks and parlays.
Pastrnak leads the Bruins in NHL player stats with 73 points (33 goals, 40 assists) and Brad Marchand is second with 47 points (24 goals, 23 assists).
Defensemen Carson Soucy, Tucker Poolman, and Gabriel Brisebois are on the NHL injury report for Vancouver, while Boston is without Matthew Poitras.
Vancouver Canucks vs Boston Bruins Betting Picks
Boston will be hungry for a win after a disappointing 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on home ice Tuesday. They’ve actually lost two in a row at home and should be particularly motivated to beat the Canucks – a regulation win would tie them with Vancouver for first in the NHL standings.
The under, is a solid betting option considering these are two of the best defensive teams in the league. Pastrnak has been consistent in finding the net this year as he hasn’t gone more than two games without a goal. Boeser is coming off of a 0-shot performance. The last two times he did that he responded with six and four shots. Good luck with your picks and parlays.
