There will be interesting action in the Western Conference in the NHL on Wednesday, as two evenly matched sides will lock horns. The Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks are both currently located toward the bottom of the Pacific Division, but the Canucks could get back in touching distance of the playoff spots with a win on the road. 

Before Betting On Canucks vs Sharks

There is likely to be a close battle in the Western Conference on Wednesday, as two sides located in sixth and seventh in the Pacific Division will lock horns. The Vancouver Canucks could have slightly more pressure on them for this fixture, as they look to continue their winning sequence and edge closer toward the playoff spots in the Western Conference.

They come into this fixture with one of the best records in the West over their previous ten, as they have picked up seven wins. No side in the conference has picked up more wins over the same period. During that run, they have lost just three times in regulation, but they come into this fixture after recording back-to-back wins. Their latest success was picked up in dramatic fashion at home against the Montreal Canadiens, as they landed a 7-6 win after overtime.

The Sharks come into this fixture sitting a place directly below the Canucks, but their form over their previous ten couldn’t be more opposite. Over that run of fixtures, they have picked up just two victories, and they have lost seven times in regulation time. A further defeat was also dished out in overtime.

Furthermore, they come into this fixture having lost their previous three. Their most recent defeat was suffered earlier this week, as they lost 6-3 on the road against the Buffalo Sabres. They conceded three in the second period of that game, and they will need to be more defensively solid in this fixture.
