Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks Betting Preview
The Vancouver Canucks aim to extend their 11-game winning streak over the Chicago Blackhawks when they meet Wednesday night at Rogers Arena. That run ties Vancouver’s franchise record for consecutive wins against one opponent, and they can make it a dozen here.
Chicago is 0-2-1 on its six-game road trip, failing to lead at any point during those games. Forward Andre Burakovsky stressed the need to start stronger after Monday’s 3-1 loss in Seattle. Connor Bedard continues to pace the attack with a five-game point streak, while goaltender Spencer Knight is expected back in net after resting against the Kraken.
The Canucks return home following a 5-4 overtime win in Nashville. Brock Boeser scored with two seconds left in OT, and Quinn Hughes logged 28 minutes in his first game back from injury. Vancouver has won all four of its overtime or shootout games this season. For more team matchup previews, visit the NHL game previews section
