Vancouver Canucks        

The Canucks enter tonight’s matchup sporting a 27-28-9 record on the season. That record happens to net Vancouver 63 points on the season, which ranks them 5^th in the Pacific Division. Right now the 3^rd seeded Vegas Golden Knights are sitting on 71 points, so Vancouver can still theoretically make the playoffs. Moreover, Vancouver is only 5 points away from the Minnesota Wild, who are the leaders in the Western Conference’s Wild Card race. With that in mind, it’s particularly clear that Vancouver has plenty of motivation to go out and get this win tonight. Unfortunately for the team, they haven’t had much luck as of late seeing as how they’re 3-9 in their last 12 matchups.

With the end of the season in sight, Vancouver undoubtedly needs to get their act together. In short it comes as no surprise to see tonight’s NHL online betting odds peg Vancouver as an underdog here. After all, they’re facing a hot team on the road while they themselves bring zero momentum here.

Players to Watch: Elias Pettersson (26 G, 30 A, 56 PTS.), Bo Horvat (23 G, 25 A, 48 PTS.), and Brock Boeser (21 G, 22 A, 43 PTS.).

Arizona Coyotes 

The Coyotes enter tonight’s contest sporting a 30-28-5 record. Although they didn’t have the best start to the season, Arizona has undoubtedly rebounded and is now poised to make a run for the playoffs. At the present time they’re sitting on 65 points, which places them just 6 points away from tying with the 3^rd seeded Vegas Golden Knights. In addition, Arizona is just 3 points away from Minnesota. Tonight’s matchup will undeniably have playoff implications for this team. And seeing as how the Yotes are 7-2-1 in their last 10 versus Vancouver, they should have no problem getting the win tonight.

Players to Watch: Clayton Keller (12 G, 28 A, 40 PTS.), Alex Galchenyuk (14 G, 21 A, 35 PTS.), and Derek Stepan (13 G, 19 A, 32 PTS.).
