Logan Thompson vs. Kevin Lankinen
A Goalie Duel You Don’t Want to Miss!
It’s game night, and all eyes are on the crease! Logan Thompson has been an absolute fortress lately. Fresh off a stellar 30-save performance against the Oilers, he’s riding a red-hot five-game win streak. Over his last 11 starts, Thompson’s been nearly untouchable, posting a jaw-dropping 10-0-1 record with a 2.09 GAA and .925 save percentage. Oh, and let’s not forget—he’s even racking up assists now!
On the other side, Kevin Lankinen has had a rockier road. While flashes of brilliance shine through, inconsistency has plagued him, with losses in five of his last seven starts. Still, his respectable 2.63 GAA hints at his ability to keep things close. Can he rise to the challenge?
This matchup promises intensity—don’t blink!

Washington Capitals
Washington’s 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes brings their record to 33-10-5. The Capitals had a 2-1 lead after the first period, but Carolina scored three unanswered goals to hand Washington the defeat.
The total for the game was set at 6 goals, and the combined score matched that number, resulting in a push. As underdogs on the puck line, the Capitals failed to cover. Both of Washington’s goals came in the first period, with the Hurricanes scoring the game’s final three goals.
Washington Capitals Stats
Alex Ovechkin scored his 7th goal of the season on a power play, while Brandon Duhaime added his 2nd goal in the Capitals’ 4-2 loss to Carolina. Ovechkin fired 5 shots on goal, and Duhaime scored on one of his 3 shots. The Capitals registered 21 shots on goal.
Washington was held scoreless after the first period, where they netted both of their goals. Nic Dowd picked up his 2nd assist of the season, and Dylan Strome added his 13th assist on Ovechkin’s power play goal.
Washington’s defense allowed the first goal against Carolina, but after taking a 2-1 lead, they gave up three straight, including two in the second period and an empty-netter late in the third. Charlie Lindgren made 41 saves with a 93.2% save percentage, but the defense struggled with only 2 takeaways and 20 hits.
Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver improved to 20-17-10 with a 3-2 road win over the Sharks. The Canucks were favored on the puck line, but didn’t cover. The total was set at 6.5 goals, and the combined score of 5 fell short of that mark.
After falling behind 1-0 in the second period, Vancouver tied it up with a goal from Pius Suter at 5:19. Jake DeBrusk gave the Canucks the lead in the third period, but the Sharks tied it again with 1:17 left. Suter scored the game-winner with just 26 seconds remaining.
Vancouver Canucks Stats
Pius Suter led the Canucks’ offense with two goals in their 3-2 win over San Jose, bringing his season total to four. Jake DeBrusk added his first goal of the season, which came at 4:22 in the third period.
Vancouver took 27 shots on goal and recorded 25 giveaways. After a scoreless first period, Suter netted his third goal of the season at 14:41 in the second period.
Kevin Lankinen made 21 saves with a 91.3% save percentage, helping the Canucks secure a 3-2 win. Defensively, Vancouver had 5 takeaways and 24 hits. They’ll look to tighten up after allowing the first goal at 2:37 into the 2nd period and another at 18:43 in the 3rd.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Canucks +1.5
When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Canucks to defeat the Capitals while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +102, I’m placing a wager on the Canucks to win outright.
Our projections have the Canucks pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Canucks, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.
If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
