My Islanders vs. Canucks predictions and best NHL picks are calling for a high-scoring game tonight in the City of Glass. The Vancouver Canucks have closed with a 6.5 total in five consecutive games, and they’ve also allowed four or more goals eight times for 4.5 per during their active 10-game losing streak.

Adam Klapka had a goal and an assist for his first multi-point game of the season as the Calgary Flames beat the New York Islanders 4-2.

He will get another chance to do so Monday night against the Canucks as he reenters the Islanders lineup with Max Shabanov drawing out.

The Vancouver Canucks (16-27-5) continue their eight-game homestand on Monday when they battle the New York Islanders. These two teams met just before the holiday break, with Vancouver picking up a 4-1 win.
