Arizona prefers to slow the pace down, 25th in goals scored. Vancouver is not rested, having had to play Saturday, an OT game against Calgary. And the Canucks haven't been playing well, losing five of the last six. That five-game losing streak featured plenty of offensive struggles. Saturday's 3-2 win over Calgary halted a 0-4-1 stretch during which the Canucks had scored seven goals. Vancouver is 4-1 UNDER the total at home, 5-2 UNDER against the Western Conference. One defensive edge Arizona has is Goalie Mike Smith. He's 6-1-2 with a 1.92 GAA in his last 10 against the Canucks. The UNDER is 7-1 in the last eight meetings between these teams, including 11-3 UNDER here in Vancouver. Play Arizona/Vancouver UNDER the total.
