Vancouver Canucks vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction: Both teams are in great shape

Prediction for the NHL Vancouver Canucks vs Vegas Golden Knights match, which will take place on March 22. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Vancouver appointed Bruce Boudreau as head coach last season, but it was too late. The legendary mentor made immediate progress from his charges, but they could not make the playoffs. There was no doubt that the team would perform successfully in the current regular season, but in fact, they always were outside the trophy top eight, and with the manager, they decided to say goodbye. Richard Tocchet, under whom the Blue-Green played great: they won seven victories in the last eight meetings. Vancouver remains in 12th place in the Western Conference.

For the first time in the club's history, Vegas didn't make it to the playoffs last season, so the club's management took care of a change of head coach, appointing Bruce Cassidy. Under the new coach, the Knights began to show tremendous results and remained in first place in the Western Conference standings. Now the Black and Gold are also in great shape, as evidenced by their latest games: in the previous ten battles, they had eight wins, and the only losses were to Florida and Calgary - 1:2 and 2:7, respectively.

Vancouver and Vegas approach the encounter in fine form. The Canadian team missed the first half of the regular season but has completely transformed and won seven of their last eight games. The Knights look no worse. They played at their highest level all season and didn't lose a single point in their previous four straight road games. Now the Black and Gold are the favorites to face each other, possessing a more balanced and skillful squad, and Bruce Cassidy should set up his players well. We can bet on Vegas to win the match.

An excellent goal-scoring activity characterizes the confrontation between Vancouver and Vegas in recent years. In the six previous head-to-head encounters, the opponents have combined 46 goals (7.67 average per game). We've noted that both teams are in great shape right now, with no pressure from their tournament position: The Knights will not make the playoffs, and the Knights will finish in the top group anyway. With that in mind, a total over 6.5 pucks would seem to be a good bet, and separately we should bet on "Each Team Total Over 2.5 - Yes".
