Game review

San Jose beat Vancouver 3-2 on October 29, and the game swung in the third period when the Sharks scored all three goals after trailing 2-0. Will Smith led San Jose with two goals and two points, while Mason Marchment added an assist. Drew O’Connor led Vancouver with one goal and one point, and Filip Hronek had an assist.

The team stats explain the comeback: San Jose blocked more shots (13-10), landed more hits (27-17), and converted one of five power plays at 20.0 percent. Vancouver went 0 for 3 with the man advantage, had 20 giveaways to San Jose’s 18, and took more penalty minutes, 10 to 6. Faceoffs were close, with Vancouver at 51.2 percent.

For bettors, the closing Sharks -1.5 spread did not hold: Vancouver covered by 0.5. The closing total of 6.5 settled under by 1.5.

Canucks vs Sharks pre-game preview

Thursday’s Canucks-Sharks matchup lists San Jose as the -190 moneyline favorite, with the Sharks at -1.5 and the total at 6.5; DraftKings opened at the same spread and total.

The last meeting went to Vancouver, 4-3 on the road on April 11, 2026, and the Canucks are 6-4 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings but 2-4 against the spread in that span. Vancouver is 3-11 overall and 6-8 ATS this season, with a 1-9 straight-up and 3-7 ATS mark in its last 10; San Jose is 6-7 and 6-7 ATS, including 4-6 straight up and 5-5 ATS over its last 10.

The defensive ranks are the main angle: Vancouver is 32nd in goals allowed (4.64), shots allowed (32.79), points allowed (12.21) and power-play points allowed (3.64), while San Jose is 26th in goals allowed (3.38) and 30th in shots allowed (31.15). San Jose also ranks third in pace (58.8), and the Sharks have Wennberg and Chernyshov on IR with upper-body injuries; Vancouver has Demko and MacEachern on IR. Celebrini’s over 0.5 goals prop is +100 and has cleared in 4 of his last 10.
