Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction 11-16-24 NHL Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction for this NHL game on Saturday, November 16th, at the Rodgers Arena. 

Blackhawks Look to Bounce Back

The Blackhawks have been inconsistent at best this season and they are coming off another loss. The Blackhawks only scored one goal against the Seattle Kraken and they ended up losing by two goals. Ryan Donato scored a goal but it wasn’t enough. Petr Mrazek saved 23 of the 25 shots that he faced. Chicago has scored an average of 2.5 goals per game so far this season. They are ranked 26th from an offensive standpoint. Defensively, they have allowed for 3.1 goals per game. This puts their defense in 13th place in the NHL. In this game, the Blackhawks are going to need to find a way to get the offense going. 

Canucks Coming off a Disappointing Loss

The Canucks are coming off a disappointing loss in the last game. The Canucks scored two goals against the New York Islanders, but the defense gave up five goals, and that led to the defeat. Kevin Lankien was in goal and he wasn’t good enough saving 27 of his 31 shots on goal. Vancouver’s offense has been averaging 3.2 goals per game so far this year. This puts them in 13th place compared to other teams in the NHL, offensively. Defensively, they have allowed for 3.1 goals per game, ranking them 16th place. In this game, the Canucks are going to need to find a way to get the offense going. The Canucks will take on the Predators, Rangers, and Senators after this one.

Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

This game is going to be lower-scoring. I am not sold on the Blackhawks offense and they are averaging only 2.5 goals per game. The Cnauucks offense has been better but they don’t need to run up the score to find success in this game. This feels like a 2-0 game, but the Canucks might score three goals. The Blackhawks aren’t going to score more than a goal and this game will stay under the total.
