Vegas Golden Knights vs Vancouver Canucks Pick – 4/16/2025

The Vegas Golden Knights are set to face off against the Vancouver Canucks on April 16, 2025, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. This matchup features two Pacific Division rivals with contrasting seasons, promising an engaging contest for hockey enthusiasts and bettors alike.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Vancouver Canucks Game Preview

The Golden Knights have been a dominant force this season, winning the Pacific Division with a 49-22-10 record heading into their final regular season game. The Knights are just a .500 team on the road this year, though, entering this game with a 20-13-7 record away from the desert. Here, they will look to get a win to finish their season above the .500 mark away from home and to build some confidence on the road before the playoffs, where winning on the road will be a requirement.

On the other hand, the Canucks have had a mixed season, getting eliminated from playoff contention despite amassing 90 points on the season. The Canucks have gone to overtime in three of their last four games. The fatigue from playing extra hockey could have a negative impact on them here, along with the fact that they don't have anything to work toward going into the final game of their 2024-25 season. But we could still see the Canucks play with pride and try to end things on a high note.

This season, the Golden Knights are 3-0 against the Canucks. But the unique nature of this regular season finale could make things unpredictable regardless of past results.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

Considering the current form and statistics, the Golden Knights appear to have the upper hand in this matchup. But relying solely on stats and previous games in this contest could be misleading, given that we might not see the best of either team tonight. Instead, we will go contrarian and take the Canucks to win as they could end their season on a high note at home against a Vegas team playing for the second straight night.
