There will be a meeting between two Canadian teams in the NHL on Wednesday, as the Vancouver Canucks travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. Both sides come into the game after recent wins, but which side will be able to register a second straight victory?
Before Betting On Canucks vs Canadiens
This looks set to be an interesting Canadian showdown in the NHL on Wednesday, as both the Vancouver Canucks and Montreal Canadiens will be looking for a second straight win. Both sides have struggled for momentum throughout the early months of the season, which makes this game even more important for both involved.
The Vancouver Canucks will be on the road in this fixture, as they look to climb the Pacific Division standings. At present, they sit sixth overall, after winning just four of the 13 games that they have played this term. However, they should be confident after picking up a huge 6-4 win on the road against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. Bo Horvat scored twice in that win, while Elias Pettersson and Oliver Ekman-Larsson also scored.
The Montreal Canadiens come into this fixture sitting seventh in the Atlantic Division, but they have picked up six wins from the 13 games that they have played this term. They have also picked up wins in five of their last ten games in the NHL.
They bounced back after three straight defeats in their previous fixture, as they came out on top in a shootout to beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2. Mike Hoffman was the hero in that fixture, as he scored both goals in regulation time.
