Vancouver at Detroit

The Canucks were the best team in the NHL a year ago, but fell short. Nothing should be better to get them jump started than playing in Detroit vs. the Red Wings, who have been 309-134-16 at home over their last 459 home games. The Canucks have certainly found some success here, despite the Wings’ lofty home mark as they have taken two of the last three played here. The Canucks own a 51-20 mark in their last 71 played against the West, and despite playing in their third game in four nights, they have been up to the task, winning each of their last four in this situation. We have the better team with plus odds, that is in need of a place on the ice to showcase their talent, and this is the spot. Play on Vancouver in this one.
