Predators try for continued success at home against Canucks

Predators Seek Back-to-Back Home Wins Against Canucks

The Nashville Predators aim to secure their second consecutive home victory over the Vancouver Canucks in just 11 days when they face off on Monday. This rematch follows their recent 2-1 win in Nashville in October.

Historical Performance at Home

Historically, the Predators have struggled at home against Vancouver, boasting a record of 20 wins, 19 losses, and 6 ties in 46 regular-season meetings. They are also 0-6 in playoff home games against the Canucks.

Impact of Injuries on Vancouver

“Vancouver’s struggles have been amplified by injuries during the first month of the season. Their recent 2-5-0 record over the last seven games reflects depth issues.”

The Canucks recently suffered a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, highlighting their recent difficulties. However, some key players might return soon, which could boost their lineup.

Key Player Return

Quinn Hughes, the 2024 Norris Trophy winner, has missed four games with a lower-body injury but joined the team in St. Paul and could be available for Monday’s game.

Special Teams Performance

Vancouver’s penalty-killing has been effective despite overall struggles, ranking near the NHL bottom with a 71.1% kill rate (32 successful kills out of 45 opportunities).

Author’s Summary

The Predators seek a second home win over Vancouver, who faces injury challenges but may get key players back; special teams remain a critical factor in the game.
