Expected score: Anaheim Ducks 3-2 Vancouver Canucks
Anaheim DucksDrawVancouver Canucks
The Anaheim Ducks host Vancouver Canucks in an NHL matchup on 28 October 2026 that pits a struggling home side against one in freefall. Anaheim sit 12th with 10 points from 11 games, while Vancouver languish 16th with just 5 points from 12. This is a clash between two teams desperate to arrest their slide, but the Ducks' recent mixed form gives them the edge at home.
Team form
Anaheim Ducks
Anaheim have won 2 of their last 5, beating Calgary 4-2 away and Winnipeg 5-1 away, but sandwiched those victories between three defeats. They lost 2-4 to Boston and Calgary at home, then 2-5 to Edmonton. Over the five-game stretch they've scored 15 goals but conceded 16, averaging 3.0 per game offensively and 3.2 defensively. The inconsistency is the story: they can put up goals in bunches, as shown against Winnipeg, but defensive lapses have cost them repeatedly.
Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver are in genuine trouble. They've won just once in their last five—a 4-1 home victory over Calgary—and lost the other four by a combined 20-7. They shipped 7 to Carolina, 6 to New York Rangers, and 4 to both New Jersey and Vegas. Over five games they've scored only 11 and conceded 21, a 4.2 goals-against average that screams defensive chaos. They're leaking chances and have no rhythm whatsoever on the road.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these sides are on record.
Key factors
Anaheim's home ice is significant here. They've shown they can score—the Winnipeg result proves that—and Vancouver's defence is in meltdown. The Canucks have been torched by every competent attack they've faced, and the Ducks, despite their own defensive issues, should find space. Vancouver's sole recent win came at home against Calgary; on the road they've lost four straight and look vulnerable. Anaheim need to exploit that fragility early and avoid the defensive breakdowns that have hurt them at home. If they can stay disciplined, they should control the tempo.
Prediction
The Ducks are the clear favourites. They're at home, they've beaten better teams recently, and Vancouver's road form is dire. The Canucks' 4.2 goals-against average over five games is unsustainable, and Anaheim's offence, while streaky, has shown it can score in volume. Vancouver's lone win in five came at home; they have no evidence they can compete away. Anaheim should win this.
Back the Ducks to take this one. They're strong favourites at home against a Canucks side that's falling apart defensively. Expect a Ducks victory with both teams likely to score given the defensive vulnerabilities on both sides.
