Vancouver Canucks vs Florida Panthers Prediction: The hosts have won three victories

Prediction for the NHL Vancouver Canucks vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on December 2. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver failed to make the playoffs last season, but now the Canadiens could be expected to make solid progress as they will now play their first entire regular season under Bruce Boudreau. The opening stretch immediately ended those hopes, as the Canadiens lost seven games in a row. They scored five wins and two losses in their last seven games, which isn't too bad. Vancouver has climbed to 12th place in the Western Conference standings.

Florida Panthers

Florida had a great regular season last year, but a playoff setback forced the club's management to change their head coach. Paul Maurice is now the Panthers' head coach but has yet to produce good results. If the Southerners were clinging to points steadily at the beginning of the season, their results gradually began to deteriorate. Their performance was particularly poor in the second half of November, when they suffered six losses in seven games but managed only one win against top-seeded Boston (5:2). After such a poor stretch, Florida dropped to tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Vancouver had a disgusting start to the regular season, but they gradually improved and were in good shape. In their last four games, they have won three games. Now the Blue-Green have an excellent chance to extend their successful performance, as their nearest opponents will be the problematic Panthers, who lost in six of the last seven meetings. As a result, a bet on Vancouver not losing in regular time with odds around 1.67 is in order.

The rivalry between Vancouver and Florida is very productive. In the last four face-to-face meetings, the opponents have combined to score 26 goals (6.50 goals per game average). Both teams in the current regular season also play hard, with a lot of scoring and conceding, so the optimal option for the prediction seems to be a total over 6.5 pucks at odds close to 1.74. In addition, it is worth looking at a bet on the total over 0.5 points of Andrei Kuzmenko for 1.85.
