Vancouver vs Philadelphia Prediction: Choosing the Hosts

Prediction for the NHL Vancouver Canucks vs Philadelphia Flyers match, which will take place on February 19th. Both teams have not been shining lately, but Vancouver is more impressive. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vancouver boasts only two points in the last five games. They outscored the Islanders (6-5) by one puck on the road. In the rest four games, the Canucks lost, of course, with a total score of 10:21 - one of the worst results in the West during this period. As for their position in the Pacific Division standings, they are sixth with 46 points.

Philadelphia is performing just below average. After 56 games, they have 54 points, 14th in the East and penultimate in the Capital One Division. The Flyers are nine points shy of the playoff spot, which is challenging to come back from, given that they have only one win in their last five games, a 2-1 win over Edmonton following a shootout.

Analysts are more inclined towards a win for the hosts, which we'll agree with. Both teams have been playing less than convincingly lately, but Vancouver has a significant advantage in the form of a home arena. The Flyers have failed 17 games on the road in the current NHL season.
