The NHL Pacific Division will bring the first game of the regular season series between Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks to be disputed next Thursday night at 09:00 pm CST. These teams are well-known as two of the most competitive squads not only in their division, but also in the whole league, so having them confronted almost guarantees a spectacular game with plenty of chances for both teams.

In this regard, Vegas Golden Knights is currently having a more solid first half of the regular season, so it isn’t surprising at all to find them in the top 3 teams of the Western Conference, currently highlighting as the second-best offensive of the Conference with 108 scored goals. Furthermore, they only lost 1 out of their last 5 games, but it’s very important to note their streak of 4 games in a row in which Vegas hasn’t been able to score more than 3 goals in regulation time.

On Vancouver Canucks’ case, this Canadian team has suffered more than expected to find consistency throughout the season, so it cannot be taken as a surprise to find them in the seventh spot of the Western Conference after only being able to win 2 out of their last 5 games. Also, they were only able to score more than 3 goals in 1 of those games, being urgent for them to increase the time on ice in players like Jake DeBrusk and Kiefer Sherwood.
