Regis sits this one out, and here is his read
The shot gap is the story. Vancouver is outshot 33.5 to 19.8 a game and gets by on a 14.3% finish rate. Macklin Celebrini has 15 points in 10 games for San Jose. Stats here run through Monday's games. Vancouver plays in Anaheim and San Jose hosts Buffalo on Tuesday, and those games are not in these numbers.
I'm not posting a ticket on this game. I read Kalshi's full board Thursday morning and kept tonight's real money to the games where my two legs looked strongest; this one finished just outside that group, so this page is your scouting report instead. I'll keep watching the goalie news with you before the 7 PM PT puck drop.
- Macklin Celebrini has 5 goals and 10 assists in 22:42 a night after 115 points last season.
- Tyler Toffoli has 3 power-play goals, and Ivar Stenberg has 9 points in 12 games.
- Elias Pettersson leads Vancouver with 13 points, and all 4 of his goals came on the power play.
- Jonathan Lekkerimaki has 9 points, and Brock Boeser scored against Minnesota on Sunday.
- San Jose's Igor Chernyshov and Alexander Wennberg (both upper body) are week to week. Vancouver's Marco Rossi returned from an illness on Oct. 22.
- Eight of Vancouver's 13 games and seven of San Jose's 12 have had six or more goals.

Special teams, strength against strength
Close to even.
A top-10 power play against a bottom-12 penalty kill: the biggest mismatch on the ice.
