Arizona Coyotes vs. Vancouver Canucks Predictions

The Vancouver Canucks return to Rogers Arena with the second-best record in the Western Conference, boasting a strong offensive lineup led by Brock Boeser, who has netted 27 goals this season. Playmaker Quinn Hughes, with 41 assists, and center J.T. Miller, leading the team with 60 points, have been instrumental in Vancouver’s success. The Canucks have been particularly dominant at home, with a 14-4-1 record, and will look to leverage that home-ice advantage against the Coyotes. Vancouver’s recent performance has been a mix of high-scoring games and tight defensive battles, indicating their versatility in adapting to different game situations.

On the other side, the Arizona Coyotes are coming off a loss but have shown they can compete with a .500 win percentage. The Coyotes’ offense is spearheaded by right winger Clayton Keller, who leads the team with 17 goals and 39 points. Arizona’s recent games have seen them covering the spread consistently, and their ability to perform beyond expectations could play a key role in this matchup. The Coyotes will need to focus on improving their power play success and capitalizing on scoring opportunities if they wish to upset the Canucks on their home ice.

This game not only features a clash between two teams with contrasting positions in the standings but also a battle between star players. The Canucks’ offensive depth will be tested against the Coyotes’ resilience and determination to climb the ranks. Key player matchups to watch include the Canucks’ Boeser against the Coyotes’ Keller, as both look to lead their teams offensively. With both teams experiencing fluctuations in their defensive and offensive rankings throughout the season, this game could hinge on which team capitalizes on their chances and manages to dictate the pace of the game.

Arizona Coyotes vs. Vancouver Canucks Pick

The Arizona Coyotes come into this matchup as the underdogs, but their recent ability to cover the spread and perform beyond expectations makes them an intriguing pick for the moneyline bet. Despite the Vancouver Canucks’ impressive record and strong offensive capabilities, the Coyotes have shown resilience in their past encounters, managing to secure a win in their most recent game against the Canucks in an overtime thriller. With the Canucks coming off a loss and the Coyotes eager to climb the standings, the motivation for Arizona could translate into a performance that upsets the home team. Additionally, the Coyotes’ moneyline odds of +170 present a valuable opportunity for bettors seeking a potentially high return on an underdog capable of delivering a surprise victory.

Historically, the head-to-head matchups have been competitive, with the Coyotes covering the spread in all three recent games against the Canucks. While the Canucks have the advantage of playing at home, where they have been strong this season, the Coyotes’ recent trends suggest they are due for a reversal of fortunes. The game is likely to be closely contested, and with the Coyotes’ knack for outperforming expectations, coupled with the Canucks’ potential fatigue from recent games, Arizona’s moneyline bet offers a calculated risk with the potential for a significant payoff. The Coyotes’ determination to make a playoff push and their proven ability to compete with Vancouver in high-scoring affairs make them a compelling pick for this Western Conference showdown.

The Pick: Arizona Coyotes +170 (Bet365)
