Winnipeg at Vancouver

Winnipeg plays the second of a three-game trip. They're on a 5-4 run losing as chalk of -222, -135, and -190. Vancouver has a winning home mark and plays its third straight at home. The defense is fourth in penalty killing. The Canucks are on an 11-9 run, including beating Calgary, 4-3, as an underdog, and the Kings (3-2) as a +163 dog, plus wins over Colorado, Nashville, St. Louis, and Toronto as underdogs of +135, +115, +120, and +125. They lit up Chicago on Saturday, 6-2, and were flat the next day against Utah. I expect a stround bounce-back effort tonight against their old Smythe Division rival. Play Vancouver.
