The 2022-23 NHL betting action continues Friday with this Western Conference battle when the Vancouver Canucks travel to take on the Vegas Golden Knights at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

The Vancouver Canucks (7-10-3, 12-8 ATS) trailed the Avalanche entering the third, but scored two goals to earn a 4-3 victory. The Canucks have been rolling of late, winning three of their last four games and have won their last two games on the road. The team is 4-6-2 away from Vancouver this season.
“We never quit. We took a lot of penalties against a great power play, and even when we got down, we never quit,” Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said. “Tonight, we were pretty determined to do that, and that's a great sign of a team. It's a great sign of a lot of players that they never quit, and they want to keep going.”
Resilient win from the fellas.
