Golden Knights vs Canucks prediction

Golden Knights vs Canucks best bet: Jake DeBrusk Over 2.5 shots on goal (+145)

Vancouver Canucks forward Jake DeBrusk has 19 goals and 19 assists while averaging 2.64 SOG per game in 2025-26. The 29-year-old is on a heater right now, cashing the Over in shots on goal in six of his last seven.

During that span, DeBrusk has also notched six points. The opportunities he’s creating are often turning into goals or assists. 

DeBrusk has only three SOG against the Vegas Golden Knights this season across two meetings, but the visitors just allowed 32 shots on target to the Oilers.

DeBrusk is also a top-line guy, and he’s playing heavier minutes this month, giving him more chances to take aim.
