Canucks Look for Second Straight Win

The Canucks are looking for their second straight win after they picked up one in the last game. The Canucks faced off against the Colorado Avalanche and they secured a 3-1 victory. The defense stepped up in a big way and the defense is going to need to be good again here. Kiefer Sherwood was the star of the show scoring three goals. Thatcher Demko scored 30 of the 31 shots that he faced. The Canucks are averaging 3.2 goals while their defense is giving up 3.07 goals per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league while the defense is ranked 18th. 

Utah Looks for Third Straight Win

Utah has some confidence heading into this game and they have won two straight games. Utah faced off against the San Jose Sharks in the last game and they scored four goals on the way to the win. Karel Vejmelka started in goal and saved 19 of the 22 shots that he faced. Utah is averaging 3.03 goals white their defense is giving up 2.9 goals per game. The offense is pretty middle-of-the-road. Dylan Guenther has scored 13 goals and added 16 assists so far this season. Utah will meet the Wild and Ducks after this game.

Vancouver Canucks vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction

Give me Utah here. Utah is giving up only 2.9 goals per game and that defense is going to be the difference here. The Canucks are giving up 3.07 goals per game and that is going to be the difference here. Utah is going to t score three or four goals here, and that will be enough for Utah to get the job done. Back Utah to win this game. I also like Utah on the puck line to cash.
