Pittsburgh Penguins and Vancouver Canucks head-to-head record
In the last five meetings between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Vancouver Canucks, the games have been quite tight, with just one goal separating the two teams.
The Canucks have won two close games, 4-3 on October 27, 2024, and January 12, 2024, while the Penguins have won three of the last five games, 5-4 on November 28, 2024, 4-3 on February 28, 2024, and 5-4 on January 11, 2023.
Given the close margins in both games, the result will probably depend on goaltending, special teams action, and puck possession. Anticipate another hotly contested match where any team could win with a single error or a timely goal.
