The San Jose Sharks (26-21-3, 12-12-0 Away) will try to keep the good times rolling after their 3-1 win over the New York Islanders Friday night when they take on the Vancouver Canucks. Fans can enjoy the action once the game gets underway at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, at 10 p.m. EST on Tuesday, January 27, with coverage on ESPN+.
San Jose has struggled to win back-to-back games for about two weeks, losing the next game after each win. They ended a four-game road trip last Tuesday with a loss to Tampa Bay 4-1, which they followed with Friday’s win over the Rangers. So, if the pattern holds, it could be a good day to be a Canucks fan. There haven’t been too many of those days as Vancouver has the worst record in the NHL at 17-30-5 (39 points). Since the calendar turned to 2026, the Canucks have come out on top in one game (vs. Washington on January 21, 4-3). Since their first game of the New Year on January 2, they have gone 1-11-2.
This contest will be the third of four scheduled between the Sharks and Canucks this season. San Jose won both previous games, 3-2 (November 28) and 6-3 (December 27).

Our Vancouver Canucks vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
After reviewing the available data for both teams, I do not understand why San Jose is not a heavy favorite in this game; a -122 moneyline just doesn’t seem right. Vancouver is just awful, No. 30 in goals scored and dead last in goals allowed. San Jose’s goaltending isn’t great, and their offense is average, but they are playing much better than Vancouver right now.
Our San Jose vs. Vancouver Pick: Sharks -1.5
