Canucks vs Blackhawks Prediction

Both teams are tied 1-1 in their two meetings this season with each one winning on the road. The Blackhawks won 5-2 in Vancouver and the Canucks 3-2 in a shootout in Chicago. The Canucks are 9-1 in their last 10 head-to-head meetings.

In this Canucks vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Blackhawks are coming as -141 home favorites. The Blackhawks have been the better team this season as they are facing the weakest team in hockey this season in the Canucks. Both teams have been in terrible form lately, with a 2-8 and 1-9 record in their last 10 games and both offenses have been atrocious this season, ranking on the bottom-7 of the league in goals scored, with just 5.13 goals per game combined. Chicago’s last five games have gone under the total and I expect another low-scoring affair today between two struggling teams. Take the under 6 goals.
