The Vancouver Canucks will travel to Arizona to faceoff with the Coyotes. Last time these two teams matched up with each other it was the Canucks coming away with the 5-1 victory back on February 8th.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks come into Arizona with a record of 32-28-10 and look to be heading into another offseason with no playoffs. Vancouver also will be on the back end of abck to back after playing in Vegas last night.
Thatcher Demko has been one of the few bright spots in Vancouver this season, he has posted a 28-20-6 record with a 2.68 GAA and a strong .916 SV%, he is getting the start in Vegas so we will most likely see Jaroslav Halak between the pipes in this one. Halak has struggled mightily this season (3-7-2) with a ugly 3.18 GAA. Although two starts back he was stellar vs Colorado, he will need to be sharp tonight if the Canucks will grab the 2 points.
A big reason for the Canucks struggles this year has been offensively they haven’t scored more then 3 goals in a game since March 15th and now with Brock Boeser out for the for seeable future the offence will be missing one of key producers for the remainder of the season.
Arizona Coyotes
On the other side of this matchup is the Arizona Coyotes who sit with a 22-43-5 record and at home they have struggled winning just 10 of 34 home games this season. The Coyotes are just 2-7-1 in their last 10 and are definitely looking forward to this disappointing season to end. Arizona will be coming into this match up off of a 5-1 loss on Monday in St. Louis.
A big part of Arizona’s struggles this season has been scoring goals they currently rank dead last in goals scored this season with just 177 goals in 70 games. The Coyotes struggles are not only in the offensive end as they have given up the 27th most goals in the league.
Karel Vejmelka got the night off in St. Louis and should be back in the net for the Coyotes on Thursday night. He is probably played better then his record and numbers have shown this season as he has a less then stellar 3.40 GAA and a .905 save percentage, but those numbers are misleading as he plays behind one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL.

Free Vancouver Canucks vs. Arizona Coyotes NHL Prediction:
This Canucks team is going to have tired legs after playing last night and will have the back up between the pipes while Arizona is just one of the worst teams in the league. Also Canucks will be without Boeser and Hughes so two big offensive pieces missing and with the struggles Arizona has to score I think this will be a low scoring game. With the uncertainty of the Canucks line up I can’t take them on the moneyline and I would never back the Coyotes my play here will be the Under 6 goals.
