Anaheim Ducks vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction: We're not writing off Anaheim

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Vancouver Canucks match will occur on February 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anaheim Ducks

Surprisingly, Anaheim's playoff chances are still alive. Despite a modest schedule and personnel problems throughout the season, the Ducks are 12th in the Western Conference standings with 57 points, which is pretty good for their level. It's hard to imagine Greg Cronin leading his team into the playoffs. However, Anaheim has won four in a row recently, including a 5-4 overtime win over Detroit and a 3-2 win over Buffalo.

Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver has playoff aspirations and a much better chance of getting there than Anaheim. But the team is feverish, and at this rate, they won't know if they'll make the playoffs until mid-April. The Canucks are eighth in the Western Conference standings with 65 points, but there's plenty of chasing pack at the bottom. Losses to Vegas (1-3) and Utah (1-2) were followed by a 3-2 overtime victory over Los Angeles.

Expert Betting Tips

Vancouver is the favorite. The Canucks will have a stronger lineup and much higher aspirations. But we're not writing off Anaheim. Vancouver hasn't precisely been stable. On top of that, the Ducks have been very good at home, where they have lost in regulation time in just one of their last nine games. At the same time, they have won seven of those games, all in regulation. This is the second game of a back-to-back for the Canucks. Even with the move - they might not have enough energy for the end.
