In this article, we will formulate a Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction for this NHL game on Wednesday, November 27th, at the PPG Paints Arena. 

Penguins Are Struggling

The Penguins are struggling, and they have lost three games in a row. Over the last two games, the offense has scored two goals total while the defense gave up ten goals, and that led to the defeat. In the last game against Utah, Pittsburgh ended up losing 6–1. Sidney Crosby scored the only goal for Pittsburgh. Alex Nedelijkovic was in goal and he saved 24 of the shots that he faced. The Penguins are averaging 2.54 goals while their defense is giving up 3.96 goals per game. The offense is ranked 26th in the league while the defense is ranked 32nd. Sidney Crosby has scored eight goals and added 13 assists. The Penguins are going to need to get the offense out to a fast start to put the pressure on. 


Canucks on Tired Legs

The Canucks are going to be on tired legs here after a tough game on Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins. Two games ago against the Ottawa Senators, the Canucks were able to secure a 4-3 victory. Jake DeBrusk scored two goals and added one assist. Kevin Lankien started in goal and saved 26 of the 29 shots that he faced. The Canucks on the season are averaging 3.21 goals while their defense is giving up 3.21 goals per game. The offense is ranked 14th in the league while the defense is ranked 23rd. Quinn Hughes has scored four goals and added 15 assists. On tired legs, the one thing that can’t happen is they fall behind. 

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

This game is going to be lower-scoring I am afraid. The Canucks are going to be on tired legs and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Pengisn overall this season is averaging 2.54 goals per game. Look for neither of the teams to score three goals and that is going to be the difference here as this game will end up staying under the total. Back the under to cash.
