Anaheim at Vancouver

Filip Hronek scored in overtime on October 27 in Anaheim after Vancouver erased a 5-2 deficit in the final eight minutes. That 6-5 win ended a 10-game losing streak. The Canucks have lost twice since, 3-2 at San Jose and 4-2 to Toronto, and the Leafs needed an empty-netter in the final two minutes to seal that one. Vancouver is 3-12-1 with one win in its last 13 games, and it ranks last in the NHL in shots per game at 21.5. Anaheim is 6-7-1. The Ducks have faced 385 shots and carry a team save percentage of .862, and that porous goaltending is the weakness Vancouver's forecheck can work on. Six of the Canucks' last eight losses came by two goals or fewer, so games keep staying within reach. Vancouver is 8-2 in its last 10 against Anaheim and 4-1 in the last five. At a plus price, the bankroll we're carrying only needs Vancouver to win less than half the time to show a profit. My call is Vancouver on the moneyline tonight, because Anaheim has won only one of the three games it entered as the favorite this season.
