Jets vs Canucks Prediction 3/30/25 NHL Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Jets vs Canucks Prediction for this NHL game on Sunday, March 30th  at the Canada Life Centre. Let’s take a look at a Winnipeg Jets vs Vancouver Canucks pick. 

The Jets Are Hot

The Jets are hot heading into this game, and they have won two games in a row. Two games ago, against the Washington Capitals, they won 3-2 in overtime, and in the last game against the New Jersey Devils, they secured the 4-0 win. Alex Iafallo scored two goals to help pace the offense. Connor Hellebuyck was in goal, and he saved all 24 of the shots that he faced. The goaltending has to be as strong in this game. 

The Jets are averaging 3.45 goals, while their defense is giving up 2.34 goals per game. The offense is ranked 3rd while the defense is ranked 1st. Everyone wants to focus on offense, but this is an elite team led by elite goaltending. Rasmus Kupari is dealing with a concussion and it’s unclear his status for this game. Connor Hellebuyck is expected to get the start in goal, and he sits with a 42-10-3 record, and he’s giving up 2.03 goals per game. 

How Do the Canucks Bounce Back?

The Canucks scored six goals on Friday against the Columbus Blue Jackets but it wasn’t enough as they ended up losing in a shootout. Keifer Sherwood did have a strong game, finishing with three assists, and Pius Suter also finished with three assists. Kevin Lainkinen was in goal and saved 32 of the 38 shots that he faced. He wasn’t great, but the defense has to be a whole lot better in limiting the shots on goal. 

The Canucks are averaging 2.86 goals while their defense is giving up 3.07 goals per game. They are averaging 25.6 shots per game which is 31st in the league. Teddy Blueger is dealing with an illness and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game. Thatcher Demko is expected to get the start in goal for the Canucks and he sits with an 8-6-3 record and he’s giving up 2.82 goals per game. The Canucks have won the last five games that Demko has played in. He is going to need to be dominant here. 

Why the Canucks Will Beat the Jets

• The Canucks have won seven of their last 10 games as underdogs against opponents on a winning streak.
• The Jets have lost each of their last three day games against Pacific Division opponents.
• The Canucks have covered the puck line in seven of their last eight games as road underdogs following a shootout win.
• The Jets have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last four games as favorites against Pacific Division opponents.
• The Jets have lost the second period in six of their last eight games against Pacific Division opponents at Canada Life Centre when tied after the first period.

Jets vs Canucks Prediction

I can’t pass up the valeu with the Canucks. The Jets are the better team no double on paper, but the Canucks have won the last five games that Demko has appeared in and he’s expected to play again in this game. The Jets might not give up many goals here, but they also aren’t going to score many. Demko is going to step up in a major way, and that will be the difference. The Canucks will score at least two goals, and they will end up on top. Back the Canucks on the money line.
