This will be the first of five match-ups between the Pacific Division rivals this season, and looks as if the Canucks have the upper hand this season. Aging players and the salary cap have played havoc with San Jose’s line-up making them a shadow of their powerhouse glory days. But if we know anything, Vancouver is the team that finds a way to lose.

Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver fans are a die hard lot and they have forgotten the Sedin twins and are now counting their blessing that Elias Pettersson has found their way to the Canucks roster.
Some thought he was a Daniel Sedin 2.0 minus his twin brother. But the 20 year-old centre seems to have another gear has proven to be an effective play maker and goal sniper.
The Canucks luck seems to be holding at the other end of the rink with solid play from goalie Jacob Markstrom and back-up Thatcher Demko with save percentages .915, .929 respectively.

San Jose Sharks
Besides an aging team and losing critical players to the salary cap, what else do the Sharks have problems with? Their goaltending. Martin Jones has been porous this season, undermining an offense that still has potential, and a solid defense.
Free Vancouver Canucks vs. San Jose Sharks NHL Prediction:
The Sharks will be looking to stop their slide in the Western Conference, especially against division rivals like the Canucks. Also, they will want to set the tone for the season’s four remaining games after this one against the Canucks.
The Canucks have youthful legs, who in this early season games are enjoying putting up easy points. And once you get a taste of success, that youthful confidence goes sky high.
For the Sharks to be competitive journeyman players like Brent Burns and the rest of the defense will have to play those young Canuck forwards hard. Making them pay as they come across the blue line and digging for pucks in the corners.
This is actually how San Jose has always played when they were riding high among the top tier teams in the west. But they may just not have enough left in the tank for that style of play anymore.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Canucks ML
The have solid goaltending, allowing their forwards to play a wide open, fast game against the Sharks. Who in turn can’t allow their defense to play too far forward due to the shaky net minding of Jones.
If their defence can’t play the body against the Canucks, then look for Pettersson to add to his point totals. Take the Canucks and the over.
