Make no mistake about it, expectations are high in Vancouver. After a season opening shootout loss to Los Angeles, the Canucks salvaged a decent start with a win over the Florida Panthers. Now it is time to hit the road.
The Canucks have only scored three goals in the first two games of the season. It’s a good thing that they have only given up two! The players that you would expect to lead the Canucks are doing just that. The Sedin twins both have three points this season and Roberto Luongo has stopped 72 of the 74 shots directed his way, good for a whopping .973 save percentage.
The Anaheim Ducks started the season with three road losses and are happy to be at home I’m sure. Their 0-3 record is well deserved as they have scored only two goals this season are averaging 24 shots on goal and are giving up over 48 shots per game.
There are only three Ducks that have registered points on the season. Saku Koivu has both goals; Teemu Selanne and Cam Fowler each have one assist – that’s it! Goaltender Jonas Hiller has not gotten a whole lot of support and sports a 4.62 goals against average and a .905 save percentage.

NHL Betting Prediction:
The Anaheim Ducks are too good to keep losing games but against one of the elite NHL teams, it is going to be difficult to pick up their first win. With Luongo on fire and the Sedins playing like the Sedins, the Ducks will be in tough. The first win of the season will be put on hold for the Ducks as the Canucks role on Wednesday night.
