Sunday, February 11, 2024 1:37 PM
Play: Money Line: -158 Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver enters this game 33-11-5 on the season, while Washington is 22-18-7. Vancouver is presently 8-0-2 in their last ten games, playing solid hockey. Washington is just 4-5-1 in their previous ten games and is now on a tough four-game losing streak. Vancouver leads on the road with a 15-7-3 record, while Washington is 13-7-4 at home. Washington is rated 30th in the NHL in terms of offensive goals per game, averaging 2.38, which is extremely low. Vancouver leads the NHL in goals per game, averaging over four per game on offense. When it comes to defense, Vancouver is second in the NHL, allowing only 2.55 goals per game. Given Washington's dismal offensive output this season, I'm not sure how they'll score against this top defense.Back the Canucks on Sunday.
