Vancouver CanucksThe effects of being officially eliminated despite the huge win against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday were downright evident when the teams met for the second straight night. Vancouver Canucks were completely out of sorts after the heartbreaking turn of events, and it led them to be shut out, 0-5, on Tuesday. Tanner Pearson said their recent performance was “unacceptable,” adding that they “can’t stop playing hockey for no reason.” The unfortunate COVID outbreak that struck the team in March obviously affected the team’s campaign; at the time, the Canucks were right at the thick of things in terms of fighting for a decent playoff spot. But with that being already out of the picture, the goal for Vancouver now is to regain their bearings in order to put up a respectable finish to their season.  Players to watch: B. Boeser RW (G 20 A 21 PTS 41), J.T. Miller C (G 13 A 26 PTS 39), Q. Hughes D (G 3 A 33 PTS 36). Calgary FlamesThe Calgary Flames seemed to vent out their frustration in losing a playoff spot by destroying the Senators in their last meeting. It is exactly what coach Darryl Sutter wants to get from his team, and he hopes that his players can sustain them in their final four games of the regular season – all against the Canucks. Winning the remaining games will be a commendable feat for Calgary, but for Sutter, it is just a by-product of his call for his players to exert their best efforts on ice as he utilizes the last stretch to evaluate the group, both from the individual and team standpoint. Players to watch: E. Lindholm C (G 17 A 26 PTS 43), J. Gaudreau LW (G 19 A 23 PTS 42), M. Tkachuk LW (G 11 A 26 PTS 37). Vancouver Canucks vs Calgary Flames Betting PredictionsTrends CanucksVancouver is 2-8 SU in their last 10 games.

Both of them were ousted after the Montreal Canadiens pushed the Edmonton Oilers to OT on Monday; but between them, it appears that the Flames are managing the painful outcome relatively well.
