In this article, we will formulate a Golden Knights vs Canucks prediction for this NHL game on Sunday, April 6, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.
Vegas Golden Knights Betting Preview
The Vegas Golden Knights (46-22-8, 44-32 ATS) had a great period in late March when they recorded six consecutive wins. Vegas did lose two games to the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets but returned to winning ways against the Calgary Flames in overtime. That game opened a three-game road trip for Vegas.

Adin Hill (29-13-5) will likely take his place in the cage for the Golden Knights on Sunday against the Canucks. The 28-year-old is allowing 2.50 goals per game this year with a .907 SV% and four shutouts.
Vancouver Canucks Betting Preview
The Vancouver Canucks (35-28-13, 36-40 ATS) were on a six-game road trip on which they lost to the Blues, Rangers, Blue Jackets, and Jets, and beat the Devils and Islanders. Back at home, Vancouver suffered a 5-0 defeat to the Seattle Kraken and then got a win against the Anaheim Ducks. The Canucks are 5th in the Pacific Division Standings with 83 points, six behind the Wild, who are currently No. 8 seed in the West.
The Canucks score 2.84 goals per game on average (21st), while they concede 3.08 GPG (20th). This season, Quinn Hughes leads the team with 72 points (16 G and 26 A). Brock Boeser has 48 points (25 G and 23 A), while Elias Pettersson chips in with 45 points (15 G and 30 A).
Kevin Lankinen (24-14-9) is expected to start for the Canucks at the goal on Sunday against the Golden Knights. The 29-year-old is allowing 2.66 goals per game this year with a .899 SV% and four shutouts.

Canucks vs Golden Knights Prediction
The Golden Knights won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four. Vegas won both H2H this season with an identical 3-1 result. The Canucks desperately need two points in order to stay alive in the playoff chase, while the Golden Knights are looking to stay in the first place of the Pacific Division Standings, so we’re going to have an entertaining game on Sunday. I am going with Over; four of the Canucks’ last six home games produced 6+ goals, while that occurred in seven of their previous ten games.
