10* Canucks PUCKLINE (ASSASSIN)

A couple of 0-3 teams collide here. Vancouver has had a two-goals lead in every game its played in so far, but it comes to town winless still. The Wild are most recently off a 6-3 loss to the Avs. Both teams have received suspect goaltending, but I still like Thatcher Demko in this spot for the Canucks, he's 0-3-0 with a 4.48 GAA. Minnesota goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is 0-1-- with an 8.37 GAA. Vancouver could easily be 4-0 right now, except for some brutal mental lapses. I believe Vancouver plays a full three periods today though and while the outright win isn't out of the question, the official call wil be to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance; the play is Minnesota on the puckline option!
