In one of the most interesting confrontations of the Northern Division, we are again waiting for a duel between "Winnipeg" and "Vancouver". The meeting of these teams at the Bell MTS Arena will take place on May 12 at 03: 00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this confrontation for you.
Winnipeg Jets»
Now "Winnipeg" is firmly entrenched in the top four, and is already preparing for the playoffs. In previous meetings, the Jets players began to fail, losing their driving motivation. So the team lost on the road in the match with "Ottawa", after which they managed to defeat "Calgary", but then they lost on their own site to the" Senators", and in their last meeting they also could not do anything with" Vancouver".
Vancouver Canucks»
Due to player illnesses, the team missed more than three weeks, and still has a crowded infirmary. In such conditions, it is difficult to count on successful performances. They gave out a bad series of defeats to the "killer whales", but recently they began to slowly revive and were able to defeat" Edmonton "on the road, after which they were even stronger than" Winnipeg", but meanwhile they lost to the" Oilers " with a large score.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Winnipeg - Little (head injury), Beaulieu (lower body injury), Ehlers (lower body injury).
Vancouver-Ferland (concussion), Pettersson (lower body injury), Beagle (injury unknown), Bailey (lower body injury), Roussel (upper body injury), Sutter (lower body injury), Virtanen (injury unknown).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a victory for Vancouver with a score of 1: 3.
- In their last five games, Vancouver has won just twice.
- Winnipeg has a poor seven-game losing streak at home.
Forecast
The clear favorite in this match is "Vancouver", which has been demonstrating good hockey recently. In turn, "Winnipeg" is not in the best shape and gives a terrible series of defeats. There is no motivation for the Jets, and without it, the team looks very depressing, as it was in the last meeting. I think the victory will go to the guests here again.
