Vancouver vs Philadelphia Prediction: the Canucks Will Face an Uncomfortable Opponent

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Vancouver Canucks vs Philadelphia Flyers, which will take place on October 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vancouver

Vancouver had a great last season. Recall that the Canucks made it to the Stanley Cup quarterfinals, but lost in seven games to Edmonton. All things considered, it was a pretty decent result. Even repeating it this season would be a great success. Vancouver had a rough start, dropping two points in their first home game against Calgary. The rivals sealed a 5-5 draw in regulation time, with the Fire coming out on top in overtime.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia didn't even make the playoffs last season, finishing 11th in the Eastern Conference standings. The Flyers should have managed with a couple more wins, and they would have been in with a shout of making the playoffs. We have to remember that the team hasn't played this season yet, so we can only judge how they're doing based on the preseason. Philadelphia played seven games there, winning four and losing three.

Expert Betting Tips

Philadelphia is a tough opponent for Vancouver, as the stats from previous meetings show. The Canucks haven't been able to score much against the Flyers, and they've only had one win in regulation time in the past nine games. In the first match of the season, Vancouver didn't look great. Overall, we're betting on the visitors to avoid losing in the first three periods.
