Vancouver has been let down by awful defense
The Canucks are having a rough season with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.83 goals per game. Elias Pettersson, Kiefer Sherwood, and Brock Boeser have combined for 22 goals and 15 assists to lead the top two lines, but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only five skaters have four goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.
The offense has struggled, but the defense has let the Canucks down, allowing 3.50 goals per game with 10 goals in the last two games. Marcus Pettersson and Filip Hronek have combined for 1.7 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. The bright spot has been the play of goaltender Thatcher Demko, who has a .903 save percentage and a 2.80 goals-against average on 267 shots with 1.5 goals saved above average.
A remarkable offense carries Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are having a great season with their offense stepping up and scoring 3.69 goals per game with 19 goals in their last five games. Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis have scored 15 goals and 16 assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has stepped up as well. Logan Stankoven, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Jackson Blake have combined for 12 goals and 19 assists, while defensemen Alexander Nikishin and K’Andre Miller have added four goals and 12 assists from the point to open up the offense.

The offense has stepped up but the defense has stepped up as well, allowing only 2.88 goals per game. Alexander Nikishin and Mike Reilly have combined for 2.6 defensive point shares while K’Andre Miller and Jalen Chatfield have added depth to the unit, creating turnovers in all three zones and limiting shooting lanes. The hope is that goaltender Frederik Andersen improves as he’s struggled with a .892 save percentage and a 3.00 goals-against average on 249 shots with -1.4 goals saved above average.

Money Line Pick For Canucks vs Hurricanes
- Hurricanes -1.5 (-105) (4 units)
The Hurricanes are having a great season, and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Hurricanes, who average 3.69 goals per game, should pile on the goals against the Canucks, who allow 3.50 goals per game, with Seth Jarvis, Sebastian Aho, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Hurricanes, who allow only 2.88 goals per game, should limit the Canucks offense, which averages only 2.83 goals per game, with Alexander Nikishin, Mike Reilly, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Frederik Andersen to make plenty of big saves. The Hurricanes should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice.
Over/Under Pick For Canucks vs Hurricanes
- Over 6.5 (5 Units)
The Hurricanes have a remarkable offense and this game looks to be a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Canucks should create plenty of scoring chances with Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Hurricanes, who have scored 19 goals in their last five games, should run up the score against the Canucks, who have allowed 10 goals in their last two games, with Seth Jarvis, Sebastian Aho, Jackson Blake, and the rest of the forward unit unit overwhelming the Canucks defense with speed in all three zones while creating open shots with effective puck movement as Alexander Nikishin and K’Andre Miller fire shots on the net from the blue line. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6.5 goals.
