Interestingly, the visiting team has emerged victorious in all four encounters, indicating a trend that home-ice advantage has not played a significant role in this matchup. When it comes to betting statistics, both teams have equally split the outcomes against the spread, with two wins each. Additionally, bettors favoring the ‘Over’ in total score predictions have been rewarded in each game, as the total score has exceeded the Over-Under line set by bookmakers on all four occasions. The games have been characterized by high-scoring affairs, with the total score ranging from 7 to 11 goals per game. The most recent game, played on February 9, 2023, ended with a 6-5 victory for the Canucks, and the game prior to that, on January 3, 2023, saw the Islanders triumph with a 6-2 scoreline. The Canucks have shown a slight edge in shots on goal, averaging 33.75 shots compared to the Islanders’ 28 shots per game over the four-game span.

New York Islanders vs. Vancouver Canucks Predictions
The Vancouver Canucks have been on an impressive run, boasting a 9-1-1 record in their last 11 games and sitting comfortably second in the Western Conference. With an offense led by Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson, who have combined for a total of 37 points this season, the Canucks have been a force to reckon with, especially at home where they are 5-0-1. Their scoring prowess is backed by a solid defense that has allowed an average of just 2.20 goals per game, making them a dual threat.
On the other side, the New York Islanders are in a rough patch, having lost their last five games. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, with a total of only six goals in their past four games. Despite the offensive talents of Brock Nelson and the defensive contributions from Noah Dobson, the Islanders have been unable to convert their efforts into wins. Their defense has been leaky, conceding an average of 3.14 goals per game, which they will need to tighten up against the high-flying Canucks offense.
This game will also feature a compelling player matchup as former Canucks captain Bo Horvat, now with the Islanders, returns to Vancouver for the first time since being traded. Horvat’s performance will be under the microscope as he faces his old team, adding an emotional layer to the contest. With the Canucks’ current form and the Islanders desperate to turn their fortunes around, this game could hinge on which team capitalizes on their opportunities and whether the Islanders can contain Vancouver’s top scorers.
New York Islanders vs. Vancouver Canucks Pick
The Vancouver Canucks are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. They are on a formidable 9-1-1 run, showcasing their ability to dominate both offensively and defensively. With a home record of 5-0-1, the Canucks have proven to be a powerhouse at Rogers Arena, and their league-leading scoring average of 4.40 goals per game is a testament to their offensive firepower. The team’s top scorers, Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson, have been consistently delivering, and against an Islanders team that has been struggling defensively, this trend is likely to continue. Furthermore, the Canucks’ defense, allowing only 2.20 goals per game, is well-equipped to handle the Islanders’ offense that has been underperforming with an average of just 2.36 goals per game.
While the historic head-to-head data shows an even split in victories and a trend of the visiting team coming out on top, the current form of both teams suggests a different outcome for this game. The Islanders are on a five-game losing streak and have been conceding an average of 3.14 goals per game, which does not bode well when facing the top-scoring team in the league. The emotional return of Bo Horvat to Vancouver could add some unpredictability, but the Canucks’ overall team performance and recent trends provide a strong case for their victory. Given these factors, a moneyline bet on the Vancouver Canucks is the most compelling choice for this game.
