Vancouver Canucks vs New Jersey Devils Prediction: Favorite to win

On November 2, the Rogers Arena in Vancouver will host a regular season NHL match between the local Oilers and New Jersey Devils. The game is scheduled to start at 05:00.

Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver failed at the beginning of last season, but after the appointment of Bruce Boudreau as head coach the results went up. It seemed that in the first full regular season under the guidance of the experienced coach the Canucks will even fight for high places, but in fact they look very weak again. In their opening seven games, the Blue and Green have only scored two points, losing 3-4 in overtime to Columbus and Minnesota. Fortunately, in their last two games the Canadiens overcame Seattle and Pittsburgh, 5-4 and 5-1, respectively.

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey is another team led by experienced coach Lindy Ruff. They didn't rush him with results, but allowed him to build a system of play that is now paying off. Yes, it all started for the Devils with losses to Philadelphia and Detroit, 2-5 each, but then there was progress. In the next seven meetings, the Red and Black had six wins, losing only to Washington 3-6. The Newark club made their way to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, just four points behind the leader.

Expert Betting Tips

The teams started the current regular season very differently. New Jersey Devils are in better shape having won six out of nine games. Moreover, the head-to-head stats also speak in favor of the Red and Black, according to which they've won 11 of their last 12 matchups. As a result, we should bet on New Jersey to win the match with the odds of 1.86 at Bet365.

In the debut of the current regular season, Vancouver not only allows a lot of losses, but also extremely inexpressive in defense. In the nine meetings, the Canucks have allowed their opponents to hit their goal 35 times already (3.89 average per game). Of course, the Devils should use it, in addition they scored 14 pucks in the last three games (4.67 average for the game), so the optimal bet is New Jersey ITO 3.5 pucks for 2.44 at 1xbet. In addition, it is worth looking at the bet on Dougie Hamilton TO (0.5) for 1.86 at Bet365.

Our prediction: W2 (incl. OT) for 1.90 at Betway.
