This is a 7* on VANCOUVER +1.5 (PUCK LINE)

We’re playing the puck line here, which means Vancouver +1.5. It’s a little surprising that we are able to get the added goal and a half under -200 seeing as the Canucks have won three in a row and just beat Montreal, who they face here, 2-1 on Monday night. Prior to that win, they beat Toronto twice in a row. The Maple Leafs are the top team in the North Division and one of the best in the entire league. The Canadiens have just two wins in the last eight games as a coaching change has done little to turn around their fortune. Some of it has been bad luck (the team is 0-7 in overtime this year). But Vancouver has just three losses by more than one goal in the last month, so the puck line seems like a safe bet tonight. Montreal has lost five in a row when favored on the road. Play on VANCOUVER +1.5
