Total: 6.50 | -125.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* PACIFIC DIVISION TOM on the UNDER Oilers/Canucks.
These teams have played to several higher-scoring games of late, but everything points to more of a defensive battle finally in my opinion in Vancouver between these Pacific Division rivals on Saturday night.
Edmonton is 29-13 and it's won four straight. That includes a tough back-to-back most recently, winning 5-3 at Minnesota, and then 4-3 at Colorado on Thursday.
With two nights off, followed by six straight at home, not only does this set up as a potential letdown spot, but also a potential "look-ahead" position. I believe Edmonton comes in fatigued here.
It's Vancouver that plays with revenge here after a 7-3 loss to the Oilers in early November. Note though that the Canucks have seen the total go UNDER in seven of their last ten in trying to avenge a home loss against an opponent as an underdog.
The Canucks are now 19-15 after going 6-12 in their last seven.
I'm expecting the Oilers to come out flat, the Canucks to come out determined, and for this total to ultimately fall well UNDER the number once it's all said and done.
Good luck, NP
