Next Tuesday night will bring a very busy NHL calendar, including a Canadian confrontation when Vancouver Canucks host a game against Montreal Canadiens at 08:00 pm CST, in which the Canucks are considered as the big favorites to win. Despite that favoritism, they still haven’t shown an effective offensive performance during their most recent games, a factor that could play against them in their fight for the Wild Card spots.
When looking in detail at Vancouver Canucks’ performance, it can be found that they recently lost a streak of 2 victories in a row after their most recent loss against Dallas Stars (1-4), a game in which only Teddy Blueger and Filip Chytil shot more than 3 times on target. Despite those efforts, it was Derek Forbort who scored for the Canucks, so after the trade of Carson Soucy all the focus will be placed on Elias Pettersson and Jake DeBrusk.
On Montreal Canadiens’ case, this team has lost all the momentum they built some weeks ago after a streak of 2 losses in a row that got them stuck in 66 points, a number that have them 4 points behind the Wild Card mark in the Eastern Conference. However, they still remark as the second worst defensive line in the Atlantic Division after conceding 208 goals throughout the season.
