Boston at Vancouver

January 3, 2026
img10:00 PM Eastern

The Bruins enter this matchup rested and confident following a 6-2 road victory against the Oilers on Wednesday. Boston was plus $1.50 in that game. That win halted a six-game Bruins losing streak that was mainly caused by a lack of scoring. Boston had only produced 11 goals during its six-game losing skid. But now the Bruins have some offensive momentum and are playing an awful Vancouver team. The Canucks have only 36 points. That is the second-fewest in the NHL. Vancouver's main problem is its lack of success on home ice. The Canucks are 4-12-2 in their 18 home games. That is the worst home record in the NHL. They have lost five consecutive home games. The Canucks are playing without a lot of key weaponry, missing three top-9 forwards in Conor Garland, Marco Rossi, and Filip Chytil. They are 24th offensively and rank 31st defensively. Take the Bruins.
