Columbus Blue Jackets vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/08/25

Closing out a busy Saturday in the NHL is a matchup between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Vancouver Canucks. These intra-conference teams are meeting for the first of 2 this season, and with similar and middling records, this is an important contest. Here is a Blue Jackets vs Canucks prediction to get you set for the game.

The Blue Jackets are playing in their third straight road game, and it has been an abysmal road trip so far. They are 0-2-0, have lost to 2 of the weaker NHL teams (New York Islanders and Calgary Flames) and have been outscored 8-3. This comes on the heels of an impressive 4-game winning streak, but right now they have no mojo. This game against the Canucks should be far more challenging than those 2 games were. While Vancouver has also been highly-inconsistent, I like this matchup for them as it presents a strong opportunity for them to return to the win column. Captain Quinn Hughes is playing in his third game since a 4-game absence, and I expect him to lead the way in a bounce-back effort that is needed from the entire team. It should be a close one, as each team is desperately searching for their footing this season. I will side with Vancouver on the money line for this Blue Jackets vs Canucks prediction.
