San Jose Sharks vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/27/26

The San Jose Sharks are looking to win their 3rd consecutive game against the Vancouver Canucks this season when they meet on Tuesday night at Rogers Arena. San Jose has won the previous 2 meetings between these teams this season by scores of 3-2 and 6-3, and they should feel good about their chances of finding the win column once again. Macklin Celebrini continues to shine, as he’s now up to 74 points on the season which ranks 4th in the NHL. Will Smith is also back in the mix after missing more than a month, and he serves as a great sidekick to Celebrini’s elite skill set. Smith has 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 games since returning to the lineup, and he and Celebrini should be able to lead a successful San Jose offensive attack against a Vancouver team that is allowing a league-high 3.65 goals per game.

The Canucks have struggled mightily on home ice this season, as they are just 5-16-3 in front of their home fans. Their 39 points on the season are by far the fewest in the league, and they are just 1-11-2 since the start of December. The Sharks are vying for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, while the Canucks are in for a long second half of the season. With more motivation and a higher offensive ceiling, the Sharks are the team to back in this matchup.
