The Canucks have really been looking good lately and have battled back from what looked like a guaranteed basement finish to sitting in the potential playoff spot if they are able to gain 9 points on the Golden Knights. However, with the way the Canucks have played against some of the better teams in the league it could be a little bit of a stretch for them to reach the playoffs as the last game seen the Canucks give up 7 goals.

The Canucks on the season have relied on Jacob Markstrom in the net on the year. So far this year Markstrom has been able to get a total of 21 wins and has turned away 91% of the shots sent his way. Markstrom also has a 2.81 goals against average.
The Kings are a team that has finally looked to find their offense on the year as the Kings had been playing horrible offensively and that was leading to the defense having some issues as well. What the Kings would like to be able to do is start to climb even more out of the basement as the Ducks have finally slipped to the point they are dead last in the Pacific.

When it comes to picking up the wins on the year in net that honor falls to Jonathan Quick who has a total of 11 wins on the season. He has managed to turn away only 89.9% of the shots sent his way. He also has a 3.10 goals against average.

The Canucks have been able to battle back from the horrible way they were playing early on this season. However, the Canucks are also a team that will be able to keep pressure on the Kings goalies and that will lead to them being able to get the win in the game here as the Canucks offense is able to slip the puck past the Kings goalies because of the overworking the goalies have had on the season. Final Score Prediction, Vancouver Canucks win 4-2.
