The Vancouver Canucks host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday at 9:00 PM Eastern Time in a cross-conference NHL matchup. Vancouver have had an up-and-down start, sitting at 7–7–0 and around fifth in the Pacific Division. Their form has fluctuated, alternating wins and losses through the first month. The Canucks showed promise with a three-game win streak in mid-October — highlighted by five-goal outings against Calgary and Edmonton — but back-to-back 5–2 defeats to Minnesota and Chicago exposed defensive issues.
Coach Rick Tocchet has emphasized tightening structure, as Vancouver have conceded 46 goals in 14 games and struggled at home (2–4–0). With the Pacific standings tightly packed, this game represents an important opportunity to regain momentum and stay in the playoff mix.
Columbus enter with a 7–6–0 record, a respectable start for a team that finished near the bottom last season. Under new coach Dean Evason, the Blue Jackets have looked more organized and competitive, sitting mid-table in the Eastern Conference. They edged New Jersey 3–2 in their last game, showing resilience against a strong opponent. Columbus have been involved in many tight contests — they've scored and allowed exactly 41 goals through 13 games — reflecting a balanced but streaky performance.

Our Columbus Blue Jackets vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
The Canucks' fortunes revolve around their stars. Elias Pettersson leads the team in scoring, averaging over a point per game and driving the offense with elite vision and finishing. Captain Quinn Hughes anchors the defense and ranks among league leaders in assists, quarterbacking the power play and logging heavy minutes. J.T. Miller provides secondary scoring and grit, while Brock Boeser's return from injury adds another reliable goal threat. Goalie Thatcher Demko has generally performed well but will be eager to rebound after conceding five goals against Chicago.
For Columbus, 23-year-old Kirill Marchenko leads the team with six goals, while veteran Johnny Gaudreau has been the main playmaker with a team-high in assists. Rookie center Adam Fantilli is adjusting quickly, contributing goals and strong two-way play, and Zach Werenski's healthy return has stabilized the blue line.
Blue Jackets goalie Elvis Merzlikins has been solid in net, while the defense appears more cohesive. This trip marks the beginning of a western road swing, and Columbus will look to capitalize on Vancouver's recent struggles to extend their momentum. Our prediction for Vancouver Canucks vs Columbus Blue Jackets: Blue Jackets to win.
