Utah

Utah gave a great stretch of five games, where they scored points in each game, recording four clean wins and one loss outside of regulation time, with a total score of 21:13 - the best indicator in the Western Conference for this period of time. Thus, the club from Salt Lake City cut the gap of the cup zone to three points, currently sitting in tenth place with 33 points. In the last two meetings, Utah first beat Colorado 4:1, and then San Jose 4:3.

Vancouver

Vancouver lately has not been shining with results. In the last five games, they managed to record only two wins, one of them over Florida - 4:0, and the other over Colorado - 3:1. In the remaining three the Whales suffered setbacks - 2:4 from Tampa, 3:4 from St. Louis and 1:5 from Boston. Thus, the Canucks can settle for seventh position in the West standings with one point more than ninth-place Colorado.

Expert Betting Tips

Utah has had a lot of separation lately, but writing off Vancouver is clearly not worth it. So far, hockey fans in Salt Lake City can not accept the new team, as evidenced by eight losses in ten home games. At the same time, Vancouver on the road performs quite well, winning three of the last five games. In our opinion, we expect a lot of goals in this pairing. Both teams are in the top-6 in the West in terms of the standard total over. Utah has 18 out of 30, and Vancouver has 19 out of 30. In general, we suggest to stay away from the outcomes and bet on the bookmaker's total over at a good rate.
