Vancouver Canucks vs New York Islanders Betting Analysis
Vancouver has been one of the best and most consistent teams all season, but are the underdogs in the Canucks vs. Islanders picks and parlays as they played last night and the Islanders come into the game with two nights rest.
Still, the Canucks continue to defy expectations this season – they’re first in NHL stats for goals (3.88), despite ranking 28th in shots (28.8) and last night’s game was a good example of this. The Canucks were outshot 42-26 and won 6-3.
Vancouver is 12-7-2 in NHL picks on the road this season and have won five of their last seven games against the Islanders dating back to the 2019-20 season. J.T. Miller leads Vancouver in NHL player stats with 54 points (19 goals, 35 assists), while Elias Pettersson is second with 52 points (19 goals, 33 assists). Quinn Hughes, among the expert NHL picks to win the Norris Trophy, has 50 points (10 goals, 40 assists).
The Islanders, meanwhile, are 10-4-6 at home and coming off of a 5-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. They’re 5-1-1 in their last seven home games however and have been getting solid goaltending and timely scoring. Yet, if it’s a New York Islanders game you can expect a low-scoring affair as the team is 18th in goals (3.08) and has one of the best goalies in the league in Sorokin.
Mathew Barzal leads the Islanders in NHL player stats with 40 points (11 goals, 29 assists) and Bo Horvat is second with 39 points (16 goals, 23 assists).
Defensemen Gabriel Brisebois and Tucker Poolman are on the NHL injury report for the Canucks and Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech, and Robert Bortuzzo are out for the Islanders.
Vancouver vs New York Betting Picks
The New York Islanders usually play close games at home and should have the benefit of rest – and not playing against Demko – against the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver is 2-2-1 on the second night of a back-to-back. Horvat should also be motivated to score against his former team and Pettersson has been above the 2.5 shot total in four of his last six games.
