Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks head-to-head record

Based on the last five meetings between these two teams, the Vancouver Canucks have won, winning four of the five games. The most recent game, on the 26th of September 2024, finished in a close 4-3 win for the Canucks, showing that they can beat the Flames in close games. Vancouver's offense has been strong, scoring a minimum of four goals in all of their wins. Calgary, on the other hand, has only won once, on the 17th of November 2023, when they beat the Oilers 5-2. Based on this, Vancouver seems to be the better team in this game, particularly if they can keep up the pressure on the offense. But Calgary will want to change this, and they might be able to use their home-field edge to do so.
