Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver Canucks - Season Peview

The Vancouver Canucks had a disappointing 2020-21 season to say the least following a promising 2019-20 campaign. With only 23 wins and 29 losses, the Canucks couldn’t even keep up with the Ottawa Senators as Vancouver finished dead last in the Scotia North division.

With 50 points last season, the Vancouver Canucks barely cracked a top-25 finish in the overall NHL standings. Believe it or not, this was the third time in the past five years that Vancouver has finished 7^th in their respective division (Pacific included).

Any 2021-2022 playoff hopes depend largely on the play of No.1 center Elias Pettersson and top defenseman Quinn Hughes, while Oliver Ekman-Larsson hopes he can turn his play around over the past few seasons with a fresh start in a change of scenery. Netminder, Thatcher Demko, will also have to continue to grow as a No. 1 goalie in the NHL.

Current Odds for Canucks

If you’re eyeing up betting odds on the Vancouver Canucks, you’re able to snatch NHL lines for their next slated game. Sports betting sites, like Bodog for example, release odds as soon as the team’s last game has finished.

Other online Canadian sportsbooks, including Sports Interaction, Betway and Intertops, could delay releasing odds especially if star players are considered questionable or based on a team’s starting goalie such as Thatcher Demko being listed as a game-time-decision caused by a knee injury.

Online Canadian betting sites, Spin Sports, PowerPlay, and Bet365 for instance, offer betting odds earlier now and again. However, most online sportsbooks in Canada ordinarily release odds at the same time all in all.
