Predators try for continued success at home against Canucks

Predators Seek Back-to-Back Home Wins Against Canucks

The Nashville Predators aim to secure their second home victory over the Vancouver Canucks within 11 days when the Western Conference rivals meet again on Monday. This quick rematch follows the Predators' 2-1 win in Nashville earlier in October.

Historical Home Challenges Against Vancouver

Success on home ice against the Canucks has been difficult for Nashville. The Predators hold a 20-19-6 record in 46 regular-season home games against Vancouver, including one tie. In playoff matchups, they have yet to win at home, standing 0-6.

Impact of Canucks’ Injury Troubles

Nashville may have benefited from facing a Canucks team struggling with injuries early in the season. Vancouver's depth problems contributed to a recent 2-5-0 record over seven games, capped by a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.

Possible Return of Key Player

Some health improvements might arrive Monday as Quinn Hughes, the 2024 Norris Trophy winner, has missed four games due to a lower-body injury but joined the team in St. Paul and could play against Nashville.

Vancouver’s Penalty Kill Struggles

The Canucks have shown little success in penalty killing, with a 71.1% efficiency (32-for-45), ranking near the NHL’s bottom.
