Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction: Will the Canucks beat Pittsburgh again?

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vancouver Canucks match, which will take place on January 11. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins were on the road ahead of their home game against Vancouver and lost two of three games. First, the team lost to Boston (1:2), then to Vegas (2:3), and at the end of the tour, they beat Arizona (4:1).

Pittsburgh is far from its best form, with six losses in their last seven games. The Penguins are already in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. In previous seasons, though, Pittsburgh is not used to making the playoffs from the highest positions.

Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks haven't lived up to expectations so far in the current league - it's not evident that the team has made any significant progress under Bruce Boudreau. Vancouver is sitting in 12th place in the Western Conference standings when they face Pittsburgh. They are a solid 8 points behind the Wild Card zone.

Vancouver suffered a painful 4:7 road loss to Winnipeg in their previous game and lost four of their last five games. But they beat Colorado, 4:2, on home ice during that stretch.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams will be without their main goalies in the upcoming game - Pittsburgh's Tristan Jarry and Vancouver's Thatcher Demko are injured. Dismiss and Martin, who will be defending the goal in the forthcoming meeting, are not known for their reliability, so we should probably expect scoring pucks here. In addition, the Canucks have scored at least five goals in all 20 road games this season.

As for the result, we will give preference to Pittsburgh. The team had a poor road trip and will surely start to catch up when they return home. Although they've won four of their last seven road games, Vancouver has only been stronger once in regulation time.
