The Vancouver Canucks (46-20-8) and Vegas Golden Knights (41-25-8) will engage in their third showdown of the season on Tuesday, April 2, at 10:00 PM ET at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Golden Knights are slightly favored with a moneyline at -135.

The Canucks were finally able to get back on the winning side and snap their two-game losing skid. Their most recent battle was a 3-2 triumph over the Anaheim Ducks, which was much closer for comfort against a struggling offensive team.

They are 21-11-4 when playing away from their home arena. Based on their location, both teams' records are similar. They both have appealing resumes, and this could arguably be a coin flip for a decision.

Their offense scores 3.45 goals on 28.2 shots per game. Their power play percentage is 22.2, with 52 goals scored so far and 46 allowed. This will be a big part of their success in this game.

They hold teams to 2.64 goals and 28.7 shots a game, a great ratio compared to their offense and more appealing than what the Golden Knights offer. Their penalty kill percentage is 79.6, which is on par with what the Golden Knights are getting. 

The Golden Knights are 4-1 in their last five games and have won their previous two battles, both on the road. Their latest success was a 2-1 overtime outing against the Minnesota Wild.

The Golden Knights have put up a 23-11-2 record at home, where they are at their best. Their ability to close out games here is more appealing than when the Canucks attempt to do so on the road.

The Golden Knights have been averaging 3.16 goals and 31.4 shots a game. Their power plays have been solid, as they have scored 42 goals and allowed 38 for a power play percentage of 18.3.

On defense, they allow 2.89 goals on 30.7 shots from opposing teams. This separation is solid, though not as strong as the Canucks’. They also feature a penalty kill percentage of 80.6.
