The odds referenced are from MoneyPuck.com, as of February 22, 2025, at 1:00 am PT. Not only does MoneyPuck provide playoff odds, but it also looks at which position teams will finish in, as well as who is the favourite to win the 2025 Stanley Cup.
As per MoneyPuck, Vancouver has a 65% chance of making the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Their most likely postseason seed is the second wild card spot at 31.5%, followed by the first wild card spot at 16.5%. Lastly, MoneyPuck projects the Canucks will finish with 92 points and have a 0.7% chance of lifting the Stanley Cup.

While Vancouver’s season has not gone the way they planned, the team is still in a position to qualify for the playoffs. That being said, they will need a big push over the next 27 games, as they are only up on the Calgary Flames by three points. Overall, clinching a playoff berth is a vital achievement, as the organization has not been to the postseason in back-to-back seasons since 2013.
The Canucks return to action Saturday night when they battle the Golden Knights. Vancouver will have to face their Pacific Division rivals without a few of their stars, as Thatcher Demko, Quinn Hughes, and potentially Elias Pettersson will miss the game with injuries. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm PT from T-Mobile Arena.
