The Canucks have gone 4-1 over their last five matchups and have a good opportunity to extend their winning streak. Their most recent success was a 2-1 triumph over the Arizona Coyotes, which helped out them back on track after a 4-3 shootout defeat against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

A few different players lead their offense in respective categories. This includes J.T. Miller having 61 points, Brock Boeser with 27 goals, and Quinn Hughes with 42 assists.

The Canucks are getting 3.78 goals per game along with 28.2 shot attempts. Their power play percentage currently stands at 23.1, as they have scored 34 times and have allowed 28 from opponents.

Bookmaker offers their betting odds for this NHL game, with the Vancouver Canucks as slight moneyline contenders (-130) to win in the comfort of their home area. Each team offers a positive path to victory, but the Canucks arguably look more appealing.

The first time these two teams met was back in November of last year. This was a 5-2 victory for the Maple Leafs, but a handful has changed since then. Bettors can likely feel safe with taking the Canucks here, as their offense is great but their defense is even better.
