The Vancouver Canucks continue their California road trip tonight in Orange County against the Anaheim Ducks. 

Conor Garland played hero last night against the Kings, and I expect him to create some more opportunities in my Canucks vs. Ducks predictions.

My Canucks analysis
With the Vancouver Canucks failing to get consistent production from their big names — most notably Elias Pettersson — others have had to step up.

Conor Garland is one of them. 

Garland scored two goals in the overtime victory over the Kings, including the winner. However, I’ll focus on his attempts on net here. The 28-year-old has registered Over 2.5 shots on goal in three of his last four outings, having four on target on Wednesday. 

He’s averaging 2.2 SOG per game on the season, but that number creeps up to 2.46 in road contests. Garland has already faced the Anaheim Ducks, registering three shots on net and an assist. 

Anaheim is also dead last in the NHL in attempts allowed on goal at 32.3 per night. Between that and how Garland is playing lately, I don’t see him having any issues creating scoring opportunities tonight. 

Canucks vs Ducks odds analysis

The Canucks opened as a -155 favorite and that hasn’t changed much, dropping to -130 today. That makes sense considering Vancouver has won eight in a row against the Ducks since November 2022. 

The total is 5.5, and the Under has hit in six of the last seven meetings. Despite Anaheim’s poor defending and goaltending, few goals are scored when these clubs meet.
