Vancouver vs Anaheim Prediction 4 November 2026
🔊 Beating the Anaheim Ducks gave the Vancouver Canucks a rare reason to celebrate this season. The Canucks did more than snap a 10-game losing streak: they came from behind in the third period. Now the teams meet again, but the Ducks arrive in a different mood. Anaheim have just put six past Ottawa, and they have scored at least five goals in four straight games. Can Vancouver stop a team who have made high-scoring games the norm lately?
They erased a three-goal deficit in six minutes.
📊 The teams met only recently, with Vancouver Canucks pulling off a remarkable 6-5 overtime comeback. Anaheim Ducks led by three goals as late as the 53rd minute, but Jamie Oleksiak cut the deficit before Jonathan Lekkerimäki scored twice in 49 seconds. Both of the Swede’s goals came with the goaltender pulled for an extra skater. Filip Hronek then converted a five-on-three power play with 11 seconds left in overtime. It was just the sixth time in Canucks history that they had won after trailing by three goals in the third period.
Head-to-head statistics Vancouver - Anaheim
Vancouver Canucks lose again
The win over Anaheim Ducks remains Vancouver Canucks’ only success in their last 12 games. Before that victory, they had lost ten straight; since then, they have fallen to San Jose (2:3) and Toronto (2:4). Manny Malhotra’s side won just twice in October, with their first victory coming against Calgary (4-1). The underlying numbers reflect their struggles: against the Maple Leafs, Vancouver trailed 3.4 to 3.0 in expected goals.
In their most recent game, the Canucks again lacked defensive reliability. Toronto scored four goals, including an empty-netter, with Zack MacEwen’s strike proving the winner. Vancouver put 29 shots on target, but Anthony Stolarz stopped 27 of them. The hosts also converted one of their four power plays, though it was not enough. The Canucks continue to drop points even when they create scoring chances.
Match Results: Vancouver Canucks
Anaheim staged another comeback.
The Anaheim Ducks have problems of their own: before their latest win, they had lost seven of eight games. Scoring, though, has not been one of them. Anaheim have scored at least five goals in four straight games, averaging 5.5 over that stretch. That firepower has not always translated into points: the Ducks lost 6-5 in overtime to the Vancouver Canucks, then fell 7-6 to Buffalo. Their defensive struggles have been particularly apparent, with even a substantial lead offering little prospect of a comfortable finish.
Against Ottawa, however, Joel Quenneville’s side were the ones playing catch-up. The Ducks trailed 3-0 after the first period but scored six unanswered goals to win 6-3. Cutter Gauthier completed a hat-trick, Judd Caulfield scored twice and Leo Carlsson had three assists. Their power play was especially impressive, producing Anaheim’s final four goals. Laurent Brossoit made 19 saves in his season debut, although he had conceded three goals on Ottawa’s first seven shots.

Match Result Prediction
Vancouver Canucks have failed to win in regulation in 23 of their last 24 games and have lost in regulation in six of their last seven. There is a counterpoint: at home, Vancouver Canucks have avoided a regulation defeat against Anaheim Ducks in seven of their last eight head-to-head meetings. Still, Vancouver Canucks’ broader run of recent results makes Anaheim Ducks to avoid defeat in regulation (X2) a reasonable pick at odds of 1.42.
A solid bet
Vancouver Canucks have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in the first period in 10 of their last 11 home head-to-head meetings with Anaheim Ducks. They are averaging 0.71 first-period goals at home this season. The pick is Vancouver Canucks under 1.5 team goals in the first period at odds of 1.23.

⭐️ Editor’s prediction
Vancouver Canucks have lost 11 of their last 12 games, making a straight win a risky bet. But Anaheim Ducks are the team the Canucks managed to beat despite falling three goals behind. There is a longer-term trend, too: Vancouver Canucks have avoided defeat in regulation in seven of their last eight home head-to-head meetings with the Ducks. The visitors have hardly been reliable defensively, either, conceding 13 goals across their two games against the Canucks and Buffalo. With both teams struggling, it makes sense to give the hosts the safety net of a tie after 60 minutes. My pick is Vancouver Canucks to avoid defeat in regulation (1X).
