Two Pacific Division teams in poor recent form lock horns in the NHL on Feb 4, as the Vegas Golden Knights host the Vancouver Canucks.
Despite losing their last five, the Golden Knights remain top of the Pacific Division. However, their poor form could make them a dangerous selection at odds-on on Wednesday.
Vancouver have a losing overall record this season, and their recent form has also been poor, winning just two of their last ten.

The Vegas Golden Knights have squandered opportunities to extend their advantage at the top of the Pacific Division in recent weeks.
They come into this round still sitting at the top, but they have lost each of their last five, and have won just three across their last ten.
The Golden Knights were last in action earlier this week, losing 4-3 against the Anaheim Ducks. That loss now means that they have allowed 22 goals in their last five.

The Vancouver Canucks already appear to be out of playoff contention this season.
They are at the bottom of the Pacific Division, and now team have picked up fewer points in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Canucks have also allowed a Western Conference-high of 205 goals, and have scored the third-fewest in the Pacific Division.
Vancouver’s record over their last ten should also be considered, as they have gone 2-7-1, and have lost each of their last two.
| TOTAL | Canucks | Golden Knights | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 32 | 10 | 22 | - |
| GOALS | 200 | 84 | 116 |
The recent losing form of both of these teams makes it challenging to predict the outcome. However, the Golden Knights should have the quality to get back on track, while it is also respected that they have won 62% of their previous home games with the Canucks.
