Vancouver vs Calgary Prediction: the Canucks Have No More Tournament Goals

Prediction for the NHL Vancouver Canucks vs Calgary Flames match, which will take place on April 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vancouver

In the previous game, Vancouver beat Chicago (3-0) at home, but they suffered four losses before that. Such weak results can be explained - Rick Tockett's team is finishing the championship, having long ago lost chances for the playoffs. Due to the lack of tournament goals, several key players, whose health the Canucks do not want to risk, are not going on the ice.

Calgary

In their game against Winnipeg, the Flames conceded in the first period but scored only. Calgary sent three pucks in the second and third periods and earned a crucial 3-1 victory. Andrew Mangiapane, Walker Duehr, and Nikita Zadorov scored for the Flames. Jakub Markström had an excellent game with 34 shots saved. Now Calgary is on par with the Jets sitting eighth in the Western Conference. However, the rivals, who Nashville joined, have a game to spare. However, Winnipeg and the Predators play each other. So Calgary, if Darryl Sutter's team beats Vancouver, still has a chance to reach the playoffs.

Expect Betting Tips

• Calgary defeated Vancouver in four of the previous five games.
• Six of Vancouver's eight previous home matches ended with a total over (6.5).

For Calgary, the game against Vancouver is almost the most crucial matchup of the season. A defeat would negate a landslide victory against Winnipeg in the previous game and the entire season. Such strong motivation will likely help the Flames earn two points. All the more so because the Canucks have nothing to lose this season and finishing the championship. We bet on Calgary and a productive game. In the six previous H2H matches, the rivals shot five or more goals.
