- Our 20* NHL Thursday Night Vegas Jackpot is with Vancouver with the money line versus San Jose at 10:07 pm et.
It has been a lost season for the Vancouver Canucks who began the season with serious Western Conference playoff aspirations. With 67 points on the year, the Canucks are not going to make the postseason. Yet they have won seven of their last nine games even after a 4-3 loss at home to Vegas on Tuesday. The improved play has much to do with the improved play of goaltender Thatcher Demko. The goalie was a disappointment in the first half of the season, yet he has found his form again after returning from injury last month. In his eight starts this month, Demko has a 2.25 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. Vancouver has won twelve of their last eighteen games after losing at home, and they have won seven of their last nine games after losing by just one goal to a division rival. The Canucks have won five of their last six games at home. They have beaten thirteen of their last eighteen opponents from the Pacific Division. San Jose is getting outscored by 0.7 goals per game, and Vancouver has beaten twenty of their previous twenty-five opponents who are getting outscored by 0.5 or more goals per game.
San Jose has lost seven straight games and twelve of their last thirteen games after a 5-4 loss in Edmonton on Monday. The Sharks have won just ten times in their last thirty-nine games after losing by one goal in their previous game. They are winless in their last fifteen games against teams with a winning percentage in the 40% to 49% range. On the road, San Jose has won only sixteen of their last fifty-five games. James Reimer is their confirmed goaltender tonight. He has a 3.34 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage in six games this month. The Sharks have lost to the Canucks in eight straight games. The last time San Jose registered a victory against Vancouver was on December 27th, 2019. They have won just twice in their last seventeen opportunities to end a losing streak of three or more games against their opponent. Play Vancouver with the money line.
Good luck - Team Del Genio.
